Well, the Bredon Hill Bikeaway has come and gone today (Sunday 21st October) We started off in a force ten sea fog, which took about three hours to really start clearing, but a nice ride out anyway. The old Pashley was doing a fair job of keeping up with the hot-shot bikes until about the thirty mile mark, where despite some sweet talking Percy Pashley lost out on the uphill bits. Still, we finished the 48 miles, and I added a bit on to take me over the metric century for the first time! 64.6 miles in 4 hours 50; very satisfying.

Very nice on the metric century. I still need a little practice before I am ready for one of those.

Well done - Hopefully i can get the same badge on my Trunks in the coming weeks.

Well how did you feel after doing your first 30 miles? Next time I will try to organise a ride with a few less hills. Blackstone edge is probably not the best route for someone doing their first 30!
Well done anyway, you did well with the big hills and the big tyres you have on your bike!

But it didnt take long to go back down all the hills you climbed, so your knees had a rest then!
