connaticTo no one's surprise, cycling 75 miles was a little ambitious. I was getting quite tired by the third rest stop (50M) and was really hurting by the fourth rest stop (70M).
My friend Scott, a hardcore biker who doesn't start hurting until mile 125 (and who had already done 200 miles this week) was kind enough to slow down and stick with me - so I made it to the finish in about 5 hours 10 minutes, including time spent at rest stops.
I expect to do better (as in less pain) next year, since I didn't know I was going to do the NYC tour until a week ago and obviously didn't train for distance. It was great fun, though - I'm glad I did the ride and very happy to have supportive friends.
The rest of my day will probably (well, hopefully) be spent resting, reading and watching some TV.
