Outside that is! I rode a 100 on a trainer to raise money for a worthy cause back in March. The ride last Saturday was the CARTI Tour de Rock. It is a benefit by CARTI (Central Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute) for family members of those they treat with cancer. They treated me so I do not mind giving to them and helping families!
Okay the ride was 101.80 miles over a relatively flat course, we got to cross the Arkansas River twice, once on the Big Dam Bridge, and the other on the new Clinton Library Bridge,and into the wind for 43 miles before we turned to have it at our backs except for a short 5 mile turn back into it at one stage. Total ride time was 5:33.00 for the 101.80 which averages 18.1 mph. I had a couple of buddies that went with me, and really helped at the end, they drafted off of me a lot until the last 20 when they let me draft off of them, and we were able to kick it up a notch! Weather was nice, 68 at the start and 91 when we finished!
