You won't even notice that you've gone 50k. They also have lots of rest stops so you don't have to do it all in one shot.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160376382277488872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-71718873188038221852017-08-23T15:02:50.187-04:002017-08-23T15:02:50.187-04:00I haven't ridden 50km yet in one shot.

I did 43km and could no longer feel my feet... they went numb.<br /><br />Start weight was 284 lbs and I was as high as 287 lbs just around February.<br /><br />End weight... right now I am hovering around 265 lbs which was my goal and then to maintain this weight for 3 months before aiming for another 20 pounds by end of March/April.<br /><br />I am dealing with a very slow burn rate.

The 75km route is stupid because you just loop around the Don Valley expressway a couple of times to make up the extra distance.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160376382277488872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-44025529069301562112017-08-23T11:23:02.991-04:002017-08-23T11:23:02.991-04:00Starting weight?
