Did my first 42.65 mile ride today. And my highest milage week so far of 106.5. Wow it took alot out of me..but it was great. After 9 weeks of cycling I am thinking I need a better set though. I bought a trek 1.1 and I hade to put one of those gel set covers on it from walmart. Kind of takes away from the look of the bike..lol.

Good for you, Dean! That's very good for someone who has only been riding a short time. 😎
Be careful about increasing your mileage too quickly so you don't over stress the ole bod.
If you haven't aleady purchased a good pair of padded riding shorts, you should check into that. Some good shorts will make those longer rides much more comfy.
Keep it up!

Good job! I agree that you should not get too crazy about long rides until you have built a base from lots of 20-30 mile rides.
I remember my first 42.65 mile ride.. it was right before my first 42.66 mile ride!😄
You must ditch the gel saddle cover however! This is unmanly.....😉
