2 - diet, diet, diet

good luck on your ride!

Answer 2

If you're fairly new to cycling that's a very good time if your riding solo. A significant goal of many riders is hitting the 20 mph average mark. Sounds like you well on your way. My 1st goal would be to ride 1 hour at 20 mph. Give it a go.

As far as losing 10lbs, if you ride 88 once every week or 2, throw in 2 or 3 30 mile rides a week and eat fairly well you'll loose 10 in no time. Your lucky to have such a long trail to ride take advantage of it.

Answer 3

well i have to tell you 88 miles in 5 hours is 17. 6 mph. that is pretty good. a 5 hour ride is a long one and if you had not trained in a while it is not bad at all. joing your local bike club and strat riding more and more. get in to the sport and you will get faster and better.
