I have been riding pretty regularly. My long weekend rides are usually between 20-35 miles, 35 being the longest I have attempted in quite awhile. I can do 35 without too much trouble, though I am a bit tired towards the end. Do you think I should attempt the 63 mile tour on Sunday, or stick with the 35 mile? The tour area consists of a 35 mile flat to rolling loop, and an optional 28 mile rolling to hilly loop. The longest I have ever ridden was last fall for about 64 miles.
I have been riding pretty steadily for about 5 years. The last 4 years were on a department store hybrid bike. I bought my first road bike this year in February - Giant Rapid 3. Since then I've logged about 145 miles. This road bike is much lighter and performs / responds a lot better as well. I just haven't been consistent with keeping a long ride each week.
