Great feeling!

At the beginning of the year I was struggling to ride over 10 miles after a break from cycling, today I've completed my first 50 miler, and with the windy conditions i was happy with my time (3hours 45) although today was all about distance. chuffed to bits! I never thought I would get anywhere near this so to all those struggling for distance at the minute, it can be done!

Well done - next time you do a 50 it'll be easier.

Completed my 2nd one today, 51.5 miles really happy but, tried to improve on my time which I did considerably, 1hr29. I also wanted to average 15mph but I failed, I only managed 14.8!! Will have to do it all again now!

Well done......50 is my next target (managed 42 last week)
Knees n legs were OK but my poor BUM BONES......will take a week for them to stop hurting.

This shouldn't happen - might be worth doing a bit of research about bike set up (saddle height etc).

Good work mate. Your first half-century is a real milestone. Keep up the good work.

50 miles is not to be sniffed at! my first 50 miler was great, came back tired but well pleased.
