I stopped once at about 25 miles to take pictures of an old VW bus that had been turned into a massive planter, including a roof rack full of tomato plants. Then I stopped at 30 miles to rest a few- probably a 5 minute rest.

I'd say today was a successful training ride. It's beautiful out today so the path I was on was pretty busy with bikers and joggers and walkers. There was a low level of the people who annoy me most by walking in the middle of the path with headphones on so they can't hear anyone coming who is trying to alert them that they are going to be passing on their left. Bonus points when they also have a dog running around....

Might I suggest an air horn on your bike? I bet they'd move pretty fast if you had one of those!
