First 50k

[Mikey32shaw]

Well what a morning for cycling it was today. Got the bike out and wanted to get some decent miles in. I know it may not be as far as some go on here but broke the 50k barrier I was made up. My legs on the other hand are not as pleased :-/

Cool. Well done.
It's not about what others do. It's about your personal achievements. Every time you clock a personal best it's something to be proud of.
I'm very pleased for you
If your legs still feel a bit iffy tomorrow. Either go for a slow easy ride or take a day off. I prefer a slow easy recovery ride.
Nice to hear your success story.

Good going, onward and upward
I only compare myself with myself as everyone is unique and there is only one of me, hopefully

Think I may take that advice and have a slow short one tomorrow. Need to loosen the legs before football on Sunday :-)

Had to do a bit of conversion as I still think in miles, so that is 31 miles (http://www.metric-conversions.org/length/kilometers-to-miles.htm).

Good going!
Next will be 75km, then 100km, and then the big 100 miles!

Can we tempt you over to the dark side and onto Strava (there are CycleChat leader boards, I'm way down )?
I don't do Strava for KOM's (too slow), but I do use it to track my mileage each month (I like to join the 1000km per month challenges), the training calendar is also nice as I can see my mileage for each month for the year.

(assuming you are not already on there of course)

Already on Strava but how do I join cycle chat leader boards.

Congrats, Did my first 50k today too!
Feels good, except the burning legs!

Nice one, it is always a great feeling when you have finished your first 50k...50 miles next
