hi folks back again for more advice
just completed my first 30 mile loop and looking to do my first 50 next week (as i am off work so if i'm shagged can recover lol) and have a few questions
1/ i see people doing 70 /80/100's on the forum and wonder how often if at all they stop for breaks? i just did 30 but i cant bring myself to stop i almost feel i'd be cheating e.g. how long do i stop for (e.g. i could go home for dinner half way have a kip then continue and say i did it in 1 ride but i wouldnt have done, or at least not in my opinion) i know there are no set rules just wondering what peoples feelings on this are
2/ i did my 30 miles in 2hrs 18 mins is this reasonable or should i be looking to get my speed up ( mostly canal paths so not many hills except the locks (and a 400 metre tunnel which slowed me down a bit and the bloody gates every mile or so )
3/ how do people get that distance thing where the miles are crosses out in their sigs?
