Massive milestone achievement

[quikanth]

Great north bike ride was held today, 58 miles from the top of seahouses, down to tynemouth!

Completed the full 58 miles in 4hrs 47mins (avg speed 11.9mph) we had a grueling head and cross winds of speeds upto 25mph!

I done a huge jump of riding max 25 miles to 58 in one fell swoop, very chuffed about and I have the t-shirt tan to prove it!!

Will put some photos up when I get on the lap top!

Finally, well done to everyone who participated today! Good people and a good cause! *BIG APPLAUSE*

Another milestone . V well done but what's next

It's addictive

next i'm looking at 75/80, probably crack on with rides after work of 20/30 mile with a weekend 40miler.

Ultimate goal is hit a century and go c2c next year, whilst obviously cutting down my time, but that comes with the milage under your belt!

As the weather draws in i'm looking at going on the rollers or turbo. Does anyone have any suggestions for decent turbo's? Price ranges and quality, or of any second hand ones kickin about?

Well done

I've done the GNBR a number of times except for this year, (as I was stuck at a family christening all day) so had to pull out of this years event. winds were very strong (as last year but it was a tail wind all the way home) so that made everyones task in the event even more harder .. well done to all that participated.

Wow, that is very, very impressive, especially in those winds!

Thanks people, to be brutally honest I didn't find it difficult, just given me the motivation to go further!

Bookin up for a triathlon for next year, having a scout about for them now, all suggestions welcome!
