3 hour ride starting in Cary, NC
Had a great 3 hour ride south of Cary, NC yesterday. My first real long ride since coming back from hernia surgery and it felt great. Two friends and I did a bunch of back roads south of Cary (TOPO! TPO file GPX file) on a sunny 65 degree morning. The route has a fair number of hills, but nothing killer and we kept up a pretty good pace until we got past Jordan Lake, where it dropped off by a few miles an hour. For the most part, the roads were in great shape and there was relatively little traffic. The scenery was quite nice and the workout was great.
