I try to ride in the mornings when there is less traffic out. The roads I typically ride are those that either have a decent shoulder, or have lower vehicle traffic. Some are wide enough for any vehicles to go around me... No real cycling trails in my area... yet...

This ride was just over 12 miles for the entire loop.

@@jlp071570 did you feel any fatigue? I don’t know why but I’m nervous to ride that far lol 😂 a mile feels easy but I’ve never biked more than 5

@@TheCreoleSon89 The more often you ride the easier it gets... I started out with a max of 5 miles... a few months later I bumped it up to between 8 and 10... then again a few months later I bumped it up to where I am now... 12-15 in a single ride. Not going at race speed or anything super strenuous... Longest I have ridden was 29 1/2 on Jun 8... Won't do that again for quite a while without working up to it...

@@TheCreoleSon89 and I take snacks with me... something easy on the stomach to digest but has sugar or carbs in it for energy...
