Avg Moving Speed 16.7 mph

Solo
Goal: Extend my saddle time and miles.

The Ride: Not much to report since this was a typical solo training ride.As noted by the moving time compared to the total time I did not stop much. A few brief stops to the bushes, but I tried to eat while on the bike and keep moving at a moderate pace.

It was later in the ride that I began to struggle, but not with fitness. Instead the struggle was with my shorts and some irritation. Kind of annoying because I was thinking about stretching the ride on out for a 100 mile total, but the irritation was getting so bad that I was ready to finish. I purchased a couple of thin shorts liners that seemed to work great, but like an idiot I thought I could get by today without wearing a pair. Man was I mistaken. Lesson learned.

One cool thing was a large truck passed by me rather close and at a high rate of speed on a remote rural road. We get buzzed often enough that I don't get that disturbed about it. This particular time was not as bad as others and actually I got buzzed worse later in the ride. But in this case as the guy comes around me and unknown to him was a Georgia State Police car. It was one of those Dodge Chargers that was blacked out totally and very stealthy. The G.S.P. had just passed me and was a few hundred feet in front when the guy in the truck came around me. The blue lights came on instantly. SWEET!! I don't know if he was just pulled over purely for speeding or for buzzing me, but I would like to think it was for both. Cool to see though.
