    What's the weakest link in stopping you from riding longer?

    My legs bother me the most. One thing I learned this spring on my ride to Halifax is that how long I can ride has more to do with how much I can relax. Sitting up straight, relaxed arms. I rode with cruse control, with my open hands resting across the top of the grips and the leavers for hours...
