Cracked the 50 Miles!

[Batgirl]

Well done, be a while before I get to 50 miles, just can't imagine myself doing it .

I'm with you too but I'm sure we will.. with progression!

Well done to you and your mum

Well done on your 50 mile. About the puncture. I carry a new tube with me instead of a repair kit.

Nice one ! No need to beat yourself up about not cycling after it . Just get on the bike when you feel like it and do it again .
Now you know you can do it and what YOU need for that mileage there is nothing stopping you .

Fab!
Century next ....

+1!

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Well done to both of you!
Did you reward yourselves with lots of chocolate?

[WellyWonkey]

Very well done. Brilliant achievement :-)

 

[Keith Oates]

Well done by you and your Mum, Charlotte !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

75 is the next target....100 just seems very far away :-(

Yeah we need to get a decent repair kit but it just seems like such a faff!!

Thanks for all the messages though xx

Good result there Shout-a-lot, for you and your mum. Get yourself on the next FNRttC from Hyde Park Corner to Whitstable, that'll be an easy 75 miles (ish) ride, then ride back home from there after breaky, 100miles sorted-bosh-Tuesday!

Very well done Charlotte!

My advice on the 75 is don't build up to it too much just crack on and do it. Planning it to the Nth degree will make it seem bigger. Pick a nice day, bike out, BOOM, job done.

Repair kit, leave at home and fix busted tubes on a non riding day. I'll take a spare tube and to back that up some Park self adhesive patches. Don't want to be faffing with glue, I want to be riding!

Keep those wheels turning

Well done i have been on holiday and i am trying to build up again for a long ride.I have done two 20+ recently.It's a mind thing.But well done to you.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Well done. I still remember my first 50 miler - with a mate and his dad to go and watch some motorbike trials. I don't remember anything about the motorbike event, but I remember the ride there and back.

Re the punctures: Having the confidence that you can resolve this not uncommon problem on your own will do wonders for your sense of freedom. Changing a tube isn't really a difficult job, and you can practice it at home.

Really well done. A great achievement and one to be proud of. You'll be able to laugh when people say "You cycled HOW FAR...!!"
