First 10 mile ride...

[Paul H]

After becoming a 'proper' cyclist just over 2 weeks ago I went out today afrer planning a 10 mile route and did it with no real problems at all in just under an hour

I need to get a bit more confidence when approching busy junctions and try to edge my average speed up, but all in all when I think how far I have come in 2 weeks it proves how great cycling really is

Next target is 20 miles...hopefully in 2 or 3 weeks time

Good work- keep it up!

Don't worry confidence grows with time.

as Helston says keep it up.

Find somewhere that sells cake 10 miles away and work up to a round trip

Well done on doing 10 miles, I was saying in another thread, its just getting the confidence to ride more miles

 

[John Flower]

Well done keep it up! My first cycle on my new bike was a short 3 mile ride. the Second cycle I did a 50 mile all round route! It was hard but I enjoyed it so much. I was nervous at the start but the further you cycle it gives you plently of time to adapt!

 

[David Garside]

Yes well done...I've done a few 10 milers and the max of 13.6 but 20 will be the next goal.....Hopefully not too far away....great idea about the cake shop 10 miles away....
