After 35 miles, I find that an aspirin or two are good to combat ass pain. And, you've officially made me decide to get my bike out today. It's almost May for crying out loud. Good luck!

Miles traveled: 61.59 Travel time: 3:52:44 Avg mph: 15.87 Avg mph 1st half: 16.90 Max mph: 34.40 I thought I could keep it above 16mph but all the traffic signals at the end in downtown Salem killed me. But still pretty good for me and my clunky commuter with all its weighty features (and the three books I brought along for emergencies, and my u-lock). My avg mph last time was 14.58. The lunch hurt me this time. Should have stayed away from the beef and stuck with fruit. It bugs me when I pass people on the uphill and they pass me coming down, when I'm pedaling as hard as I can and they're just coasting. How do they do that? Their bikes certainly aren't heavier than mine. Grumble grumble. Pain: Butt didn't hurt, just fell asleep. Got a weakness in my right hip, but I can still climb stairs (one at a time). Data, everybody loves data.

Of course, that leaves out the whole being able to see the potholes thing. At speed, crouching is more helpful than pedalling downhill. Drag increases exponentially with velocity.
