That is awesome!! Great job!!!

[blondie]

Wow. That’s excellent. I could never do that. Are you training for an event, a fondo or similar?

[Klaus]

Excellent! The neck pain is a pretty common issue. I also suffer from it sometimes.
Next time, check two things: how much of your body weight goes into your hands? It should be little; the body should mostly carry itself (in the gym, train core muscles). Second, is your back straight or curved? It should be straight (train hip mobility)

Nice Jon! I'm sure you will be fine for your event. The adrenaline will help on that second day on a big group ride.

Nice ride, Jon!

(off to add you on Strava to better stalk heckle cheer you on!)

But what really got to me is my neck, holding my head up for so many hours with the extra weight of the helmet in it.

Lucky for you the helmet weight is offset by the empty space that helmet is protecting.

I do plan on renting a bike for one day in Nashville.

I've only done it a few times, but I really enjoy exploring a new city (or even a known city when visiting) by bicycle, often from the hotel itself.

Holy cow, Jon! You are amazing ️
