Hi
Last night I got in my longest Silvio ride.. it was a 42 mile ride from Ashby, MA up through WIlton, NH, over to Milford, NH and down through Townsend, MA and back to Ashby... Some really gorgeous roads for riding in Southern NH. The first 8 miles were pretty much all up hill, some pretty steep and long, but the rest was mostly flat. Over the 42 miles I averaged 17 mpg according to my Garmin GPS unit... this was a fast pace for me on these hilly routes.
The SIlvio was VERY comfortable throughout... when completed, I did not feel sore at all. On the long flat stretches, I am able to comfortable maintain a 22+ pace for a few miles no problem. The Silvio is really nice in this mode.
Most importantly I found out on these extended rides is the refueling that is needed... Those GU packs I think I mentioned a while ago have made a huge difference.
I want to work up to a 73 mile ride around Mt Monadnock in Jaffery, NH by the end of summer...This is a VERY hilly route! I did it about 4 years ago on my DF bike...
Getting hooked more and more on SIlvio!
