getting fitter

[endoman]

a week ago I was chuffed to avge nearly 17 mph for my commute, so today after a rest day and an 86 miler on Sunday I commuted again. Felt really good so decided to go for it, 15.2 miles in under 48 mins! 6 mins better than ever before, almost 19 mph. The hills were where I made a lot of time, have now done 3 faster rides with club which helps knowing how hard I can push.

Must be the new club kit making me quicker :-)

Don't know how you manage it . Fastest I've ever done on the same flat roads is 15mph.

If I didn't have 50 odd sets of traffic lights on my daily commute my average would be much higher then it is at the moment..which is about 15mph.

traffic pretty good this morning, only have lights etc in last couple of miles, all the hilly bits are smaller roads.
Best bit was 25 mph down dual carriageway for about 2 miles, never been able to keep up that pace before on my own.

Popped into mates business on way back and he's gifted me a pair of SiDi Ergo 2 Carbon shoes as a thanks for riding with him in his training for a big charity ride! Happy days, at least my feet will look the part.

50 miler with him tomorrow, then spiralling with club again on Thurs night, then will attempt my first long club ride on Sunday, all a learning experience, but an enjoyable one

Well done matie; It's great actually seeing the times come down isn't it...

My first 12.8 mile commute took me 1h 7mins. The fastest I've done it in recently was just over 37 mins (20mph average)

I've been cycling since the 5th April...

Supposed to be doing the Sea to Sea at the end of August... But I haven't spoken to the bloke organising it for a while, so I dunno if its still on or not
