Finally did a 30 miler!

[DaveyM]

Well after a couple of attempts (one where I took the wrong turn and shaved a few miles off and one with 2 punctures in one ride)
I have finally achieved my 30 mile badge which I will sow on my swimming trunks as soon as it arrives

Right 50km done next 50miles

I was very pleased with how well it went and I am amazed that I can stil walk after it.

Nice one, within 3 months you will be using 30s as a warm-up

 

[Sittingduck]

Well done. I hope you don't wear the trunks on the bike. Might be a bit dicey.

Yes Dave, I noticed.

Thought my 19 today would catch you up a bit, but no, I dropped another 15 behind instead. Thanks a bunch.

Congrats on the 30+ though.

Well done! It's a big milestone doing 30 start to take some nibbles with you and/or a sports drink and you'll push that out very quickly

Well done on doing 30 miles, as you say next step is 50 miles

 

[Typhon]

Well done Davey.

 

[defy-one]

Well done dude. Having done a couple of those myself .... It's a great feeling.

 

[Eribiste]

Well done that man.

One 30 miler is never enough is it? You do one, you want to do another. Then you want 40 miles, 50 miles, then a metric century....

It's a slippery slope!

 

[Gaz Vickers]

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

 

[NickGayle]

Im hoping for one of those badges too. I'm at the 20 mile stage and am looking for a good 30 mile route. Well done on the 30 miler

Well done to you as well mate

I have already started planning for fifty miles in a couple of weeks, I am going to try and get some 10 milers in ( afterwork) but go slightly faster over the next week. then another 30+ next weekend

I am off work in a couple of weeks for a few days so would really love to get a 50 in during that time.

Us Worcestershire Wanderers have got an opportunity for a 50 (well, 49 miles) next Sunday on the Bredon Hill Bikeaway. Including the ride to the venue and back, I'll have done about 54, so I'm just going to have to do a couple more and clock up the metric century.
If I don't faint that is.
Might just have a glass of finest English ale at The Gardener's Arms afterwards to celebrate!

Good luck with that and let us know how it goes
