100 mile goal

[fimm]

My OH tends to find that he'll get a cold or something after a big event, so it is possible. Well done on your 100 miles.

@mjray am guessing you don't like sportives lol.
Bananas and malt loaf, I took some with me, but topped up with exactly that, so nothing unusual and fairly hygienic as all individual. There were water containers to top up. Just one of those things I guess.

Managed my first century today , just over 7hrs, pleased with that, started off slow & then slowed down. I was pleased with how strong I felt, ( in part, taking advice from fellow forum members) my only regret is that I missed an opportunity to raise some funds for a worthy cause.
Always next time though

How are you feeling now @Mummy3monkeys?

Well done.
Was that the Manchester 100?

We passed a lot of the riders today, around Wilmslow and Alderley Edge.
"I'm starting to think about it for next year. My furthest is 51 miles.

Well done @jonnysnorocket - I think it's good to do this for yourself

We have some "flattish" ground surrounding Derby, except oop northwards! so I just linked some of my favourite routes together, went out on my own today more or less on the spur of the moment, as everything was in my favour, fine weather, good health, plenty of time,
I have been training, but my planned date was still a few weeks away, but hey! No time like the present
This one was for me as @mjray says, a very important personal milestone for me, as I was not in the best of health for a very long time.
The wonders of cycling & fresh air eh

How are you feeling now @Mummy3monkeys?

Now recovered, some sort of delightful tummy bug that has had me bed bound for nearly a week. Today I might try and eat something, managed toast this morning
Thank you x
