First 50 Miler

[Hip Priest]

Please forgive my self-indulgence, but I've just done my first 50 mile ride and I'm chuffed. I reckon I got my re-fuelling right as well, 'cause I felt stronger and fresher in the last 10% of the ride than I normally do on shorter rides.

Halfway towards to my goal of 100 miles!

New PBs are nothing to be shy about

You've obviously put the effort in or you wouldn't have made it.

Bask in your own magnificence, oh and well done

 

[MattHB]

Well done!

 

[Dave7]

I think that is great and you deserve a .
50 is my goal for this year-am up to 25.......my next one will hopefully be 35....then the big one.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Nice one. Keep it up.

 

[numbnuts]

Well done fella! Took me ages to get to 50, now PB is 73 in one go - soon to be 81 (hopefully!)

 

[derrick]

It's a nice feeling when you get there, well done 100 miles next?

 

[Johnym]

Well done mate :-)

Well done Hip Priest! I've had three rides over 40 miles so far, but can't see me managing 50 any time soon. Any tips?

 

[Banjo]

Congratulations 50 miles is a major milestone. If you switch to metric now your not far short of your first 100km ride.

 

[IanT]

Nice one mate. As everyone has said, your first half-century is a great milestone.

Well done Hip Priest! I've had three rides over 40 miles so far, but can't see me managing 50 any time soon. Any tips?

I'd only done three rides over 40 before today, so I'd say if you can do that you can do 50. I just tried not to go too hard early on, and made sure I had plenty of fluid and food.

Cheers to everyone for the comments!

Well done HP add another 50 on top of that and you can have a slice of cake to calibrate ..did you enjoy the heavy rain and hail storms today

Good work. A very good feeling to be half way to the hundred.
