Mountain Ride

I went for a 50-ish mile ride with Simcha and Gabe yesterday.  Here are the stats:

49.3 Miles in 3 hours, 12 minutes
15.4MPH Average, 41.7MPH Maximum
145bpm Average, 178bpm Maximum
Total Ascent: 4600 feet
Calories: 3279

It was a cool and overcast day.  We had a few minutes of rain, but it was perfect otherwise.  We rode from Monsey to Harriman via Gate Hill Road (you know it's going to hurt when the road is called "xyz hill road".  There were tons of folks in the park trying to get into the parking lot for Lake Welsh.  We then rode down to the parkway and back up to Lake Tiorati.  We then rode down to Bear Mountain and up to it's top.

Ugh.

Anyway, lots of climbing, and it was a lot of fun!

Hill stats:

Gate Hill: 8% for 1.06 miles
Climb to Tiorati: 4% for 1.46 miles
Perkins: 7% for 1.60 miles

Here's an elevation chart, and a chart with elevation, speed, and heart rate:

Here's the Google Earth data for the ride.  Different visualizations can be turned on and off.  Give it a shot.
