The Long Rides

@hanahsdax -- You are turning into a high mileage rider! It is fun to watch you on the GT mileage Leaderboard.

@hanahsdax That's pretty decent mileage for the terrain going of the pic. Impressive stuff for sure :D
-
@hanahsdax If you don't mind me asking, how much do you weigh? Also, what was the temperature? I feel like I would maximum get 20mi if I was riding the same terrain and speed. It isn't my GT either, I have only gotten over 24mi on my CBXR a small handful of times, and that is at 90°F and my Summer weight of 180lbs.

@S-Leon Thanks. I’ve always been more of a commuter, mission and adventure rider. I like planning epic rides and exploring places.
@Lia It was a good day of riding. About 60% was pavement and asphalt. The other 40% was dirt roads and single track. I hope to contribute more to this thread as the seasons change.
@biell I’m a lightweight rider. With a backpack full of gear I probably was barely pushing 140lbs. I rode in Highline with lights off and my tire was at 20psi. I rode really conservatively when I hit 15% and was basically averaging around 9mph for the last two miles. It was 60/40, not all trail riding. Temperature was around 67 degrees Fahrenheit .

@hanahsdax Thanks, 40+lbs difference probably has a lot to do with it. I haven't been 140 since before I stopped growing, so I don't think that is an option for me. I also rarely ride at 20psi, I am normally in the 17-18 range to help soak up the terrain.
