Magic number

[skudupnorth]

Hit the magic 100 miles (actually 118 ) Today on my way to Penzance my Manchester.Never done a camp tour before so I'm pretty pleased at them moment even with the aching limbs! Hope tomorrow gets better on the way to Tintern and the Severn crossing ( I am snuggled up in my Argos £17 special at the moment.Keep you posted on day two

Congratulations My longest is 122km (about 76 miles) in a day. Although that was over the mountains of andalucia so a hell of a lot of climbing and some downhill rewards. I did 45 miles on flat terrain in about 3 and a half hours without a break too. So if i can find and plan a long enough route i think i could also hit the magic 100miles or 160km hmm time to plan that in i think

100 miles fully loaded?! That's some achievement.

100 miles fully loaded?! That's some achievement.

Indeed! I've only done one century, and that was pretty lightly loaded.

Well done!

Did you get a good nights sleep last night Skud ?

A very well done. It may be worth you doing some self massage on your legs to stop your muscles becoming very stiff and risk of injury especially doing so many miles - your lower leg muscles paticularly, gentle to firm working of the muscle groups and the tendons and some gentle stretching. A clenched fist using your knuckles can work wonders especially along one's upper leg large muscles.

Enjoy your tour.

Sorry for late reply,I-phone went flat ! Anyway I hurt in all the wrong places but I am in the land of the pasty and cream tea.The last day really was a killer with heavy rain,head winds and mega long hills.Next time I will not take as much but first my knees and ankle are really sore and need some love ! I will post pics when I get back.

Back in bloody wet Manchester after driving some of the route I took back in the car,my wife (and myself) cannot believe some of the hills I rode with a loaded bike.Still have pain in my right knee and the back of my foot ( anyone know what can make a grinding feeling ) plus knumbness in one side of my hand. Other than that all is well ! Pics will be sorted tomorrow
