I road down to Ocala today to see my sister. I thought it was about 50 miles or a little more, but it turned out to be a bit shorter - just over 40. My plan was to ride just a little below tempo (LSD anyone?) for around the first 2oish miles, and then when I hit the hills, pick it up to right around tempo for the last 30 or so. Due to my mis-judgment of the distance, it ended up being split about 50/50 though. It was a good time. I love riding in one direction and not going back, but I think I would really hate touring. I also love the hills midway between here and Ocala, but hate that it's 20 miles to get to them.

I was feeling pretty good though, despite the ride yesterday. The whole ride came in just over 40 miles, and right around two hours. Tomorrow's a rest day, including a trip to Cici's Pizza with the sister.
