One of my Father's Day gifts was the gift of time - to be able to do a Sunday morning bike ride with Don and Wilhe. Derek was going to join us too but he did a long (14-miles!) run yesterday at White Rock Lake for his San Francisco Marathon training and his legs weren't up to it.
Rode 41.6 miles in 3 hours and 10 minutes. The first 30 miles were done in about 2 hours (about a 15 MPH average - which is not bad considering my heart rate probably averaged 120 bpm) ... then a few long breaks for the next 5 miles.

This was Wilhe's first "real" ride on the bike. He did great - about 35 miles (on a mountain bike!) and still smiling at the end.
I ended up riding the last 6 or so miles by myself and tried to push the pace - about 19-20 MPH for that final stretch. Felt great to complete the ride because it was very hot today - around 99 degrees when I finished at almost 12:00 noon.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
