Afternoon all whos been out today?

Me, I've been out for a tour of Bredon Hill, 17 miles in 58 minutes. Been away for a week, so had to go for a ride (after mowing the lawn) to see if the wheels still went round on the bike!

I just managed to cycle the seven mile round trip to my local shop for batteries today, good training for my cycle tour starting next Thursday.

I found my knees started to hurt after 15miles. Thinking I need to get my setup looked at as I don't think I could of done that sort of distance.

I know a fab guy in Lincs for setting you up. Let me know if you want his details.

Did Grantham Arrow today. I was slow, but managed the 52miles. Sit bones a little tender this evening as it's my furthest distance since last August

Reason for edit: damn autocorrect

Hills yesterday, hills today. I wish we had somewhere flat closeby so I could just ride my bike.

I worked till 19.00, got home then Bimbled out for 45 mins, just gentle, came home to a nice cuppa and a Bacon Sarnie.

54k cross bike ride along Kennet and Avon canal, too many dog walkers and joggers with headphones but still made for a pleasant ride in the sunshine.

First ride for a month today owing to manflu breaking my flow for a couple of weeks then my mum being in hospital and visiting her on my days off

Did a fantastic early ride today, beautiful weather, virtually no cars but loads of like minded cyclists. A 25 mile route around the country lanes surrounding my home town with a 15 mph average speed which I was happy with after a month off

Took me a while to get the old legs moving but after 5 miles or so I was back in the groove and really enjoyed it

Sit bones and legs are reminding me tonight not to leave it so long next time!!

The last couple of replies in this thread makes me realise it isn't just me !

On my 35 miler yesterday have to admit that I did consider a cab back after 16 miles ! Also last weeks 25 miler was first ride in 5 weeks and killed in every department. It's amazing how you soon get back into it though. Backside nowhere near as uncomfortable this week.

I think a few evening 7-10 milers wouldn't go amiss so long as weather doesn't get much worse.
