Mileage versus timed riding

Today I tried something different. I wanted to practice hand positioning and climbing out of the saddle, so I planned a 30-minute ramble around the park.

I had so much fun not concentrating on speed and mileage. I really relaxed and worked on my skills. So much so, that weather permitting I am going to do another, longer timed ride tomorrow. I am going to go for 50 minutes, which should put me at 10 plus miles. The focus is on time, not speed. I managed an 11 mph plus average speed, so I only dropped a few miles per hour.

There is a big smile on my face right now.
