What a recap, Larry! It was like I was riding along with you, even into that darn headwind. And Marina, for me to average 12 mph would be a miracle, and on my leg trike pretty much impossible these days. I can't keep up with Laura briskly walking, ha!
As for me, I just set another distance PR! But the curse of 20 miles reared it's ugly head again, damn it. Was having a fantastic day and stopped halfway—I was 10.5 miles into the ride—for lunch and a boozy shake... perhaps not the most brilliant idea, but I was feeling great and confident I'd break 20. On the way back, we passed on the slightly longer off-road section of the trail, but I was still sure I would make it happen. Made it to 19.5 miles before a bathroom emergency (uh, thanks MS) required ending the ride just a half mile short of the big two-oh. (And I was planning to do circles in the driveway if push came to shove, but alas.) My quest continues.
