20 mile bike ride (hilly & 4x4 roads) in 1:39:28, 4:58/mi, HR 135. Sunny and hot (87F). Rode up into state forest land, with some serious hills, logging one 11:03 minute mile. My lowest gear on my 24 gear bike nearly wasn't low enough, so it was a sweat-fest on the way up, and something of a terror ride on the way back (hands started cramping from riding the brakes). Survived unscathed and saw some nice meadows and forests. Only marred by the two idiots drinking beer and shooting their rifle from the roadway about 6.5 miles in.
