First Ride of Actual Distance

I made my first "distance" ride today. Distance being an incredibly relative term. I rode 16 miles this morning. Went from the house east of town to Ron Olsen's and back. A couple of the hills were killing me on the way back. MPH down to 7 and 8 a couple of times. Overall, I averaged 12.3 mph with a max speed of 25.8. I want to get to 30, not sure if it's going to happen for awhile. Legs don't feel too bad, but they were definitely out of gas by the time I pulled into the garage. Ride took about 1:15. Hopefully, the weather stays nice and I can get a ride like that in a couple of times a week. I'd like to be around 30 miles by the end of summer.
