Nice ride , clean whip !Finally did a decent ride. I started losing it though around mile 30-39. My legs, *** and back started to go out. I guess I have to condition more to do these long rides.
You did good man. You gotta work on them miles slowly. All the 10-20 miles ride will help you gain more and more miles on your longer rides. I always just say, ride with how much time your available. During the week I can only get about a 20-30 mile ride a day just because thats about what I have time for. Then on the weekend allocate a couple hours to test your endurance on a nice long ride.Finally did a decent ride. I started losing it though around mile 30-39.

Could be wrong but looks like Rapha.
**** that's far. The furthest I've gone was down Lake Merced Blvd., around the lake, and back up to Westlake(jogging route).Finally did a decent ride. I started losing it though around mile 30-39. My legs, *** and back started to go out. I guess I have to condition more to do these long rides.
I made sure I had breakfast before I went and had 2 waters and an energy bar just in case. Weather was great today but wind in the bridge added to that incline. But you are right. You sort of have to really prep for those rides.
Yup. It’s the small Rapha saddle bag. The pros of it is it looks great and classy. The bad is it’s like $70 and doesn’t hold a lot. I have one tube and a tool and that’s it. Couldn’t fit a CO2 cartridge in it at all which defeats the purpose of the spare tube. There is a bigger one which looks the same and more functional but the small one looked better which really shows my priorities in cycling.
Yea you;ll get to know your body a lot better once you get more time on the saddle. Big miles are cool and all, but I enjoy the nice fast short rides just as much. Long as youre having fun. I would hate to do long rides if I didn't enjoy them.I made sure I had breakfast before I went and had 2 waters and an energy bar just in case.

Naw you good fam. Its like anything, the more you do it the better you get. No secrets to it really. No shortcuts no matter how expensive the bike.
Yea I mostly use my jersey pockets and a tool keg. If its short enough I just use a tool keg, since 20 or so I usually only need a single bottle, so the keg goes into the other cage.
Thanks man. I used to get beat from 5-mile rides... When I went on my first 30-mile ride, I cramped up and had to walk the last 2 miles. Not fun.
I still bike in basketball shorts
Getting some real gear has been at the top of my list for 2 years now but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
