Just completed my longest ride so far on Sunday, 27 miles starting out from home (Bromham, Wiltshire) and doing a loop taking in Potterne, Worton, Eddington, Steeple Ashton, Keevil, Seend then home. First 20 miles were OK but the last 5 were a real struggle on both legs and rear end!
Took me 2.75 hours on my 26" wheel MTB - not fast but I've only been cycling for about 8 weeks and still weigh nearly 18 stone.
Pleased I've done it but didn't have my usual post cycling energy buzz yesterday - instead felt fairly rubbish all day. I think I'll stick to 20 mile trips for a week or two until the strength builds up and the rear end becomes more leather-like!
