I had considered 28 miles roundtrip to be a milestone and I hit it.  28 and 1/3 miles maybe more, the computer button sticks and I found it off after I had just started again, etc.  Went out Delong down Tates Creek to 1981 and took that out a ways.  I had no idea there were so many gigantic horse farms out around Lex.  Tates Creek was closed to traffic to rebuild a bridge but the two gravel dams

Did 16.5 miles out Old Frankfort Pike.  Talk about killer.  It was either pedaling up or coasting down, almost no in between.  I can do a low grade for a long distance alot better than many ups and downs.  Might need to adjust the seat higher to take advantage of leg extensions more.  It's still a very pretty ride, but it's an easier drive.  Still kept my average at 15.2 so that's good atleast.

Changed the route a little, went down Walnut Hill Road off of Delong then took Old Richmond to Richmond Rd.  Old Richmond is a long haul at a slight incline in the section I took.  Walnut Hill is gorgeous and free of traffic.  Turns our Juddmonte Farms (see "~20 Miles") is huge.  Really attacked it today and had an average of 17 when I jumped back on Richmond Rd.  Fell to 16.4 for total, half

Did 25.4 miles in three chunks stopping at Lex Polo Club after 5.5 and then after 20.  The first 5.5 flew by.  Body wise I'm fine but need to get more power for the climbs.  Topping out in my gears on flats which feels great.  Feels like I need more low gears though.  I think I saw the average was at 14.7 or something around that.  Same ride but rode to where Delong hits Tates Creek.  Feeling

Rode ~20 miles (maybe less) according to google maps.  Forgot to turn the computer back on after I stopped once.  Went Richmond Rd to Squires to Armstrong to Delong.  Turned around at Juddmonte farms.  Turns out it is owned by a Middle Eastern Prince.  Felt terrible at end.  Back, shoulders, everything hurt.  Hope I can bounce back.
