I just got a road bike about a month ago and have been riding ever since. I currently ride about 15 miles at 17mph. I'm want to challenge myself for the Livestrong Ride by doing either 40 or 70 miles. Does anyone know how challenging the course is? Are there a lot of hills? any feedback on riding would be helpful. thanks
the general rule of thumb with riding is that you can normally do about 3 times your normal ride without too much trouble. 15x3=45, so i would stick to the 40 mile trip.
Go to the Livestrong website and visit the Philly link. They should have profiles and maps available for you. If not now, then soon. personally... given you have just started, I would suggest the 40 mile option.
