Well I did it my first 100.15 mile ride today.
I set off this morning from Harrogate in the lovely hot sunshine over to Wetherby then onto Tadcaster then Selby and up the bike track to York.
Once in York I followed the bike path into the center of York with the intention of following it to Easingwold but then the signs seemed to disapear and I was totally lost in the middle of York so I followed the main roads to the A19 Thirsk turn off on the roundabout at clifton and managed to join the bike path further on.
Next was Easingwold where I raided the the local costcutter for food as I was very very hungry, next into Boroughbridge then Knaresborough then I did my normal training circuit of Harrogate that I do most evenings to get the milage up to 100 then home.
At the 60 mile mark my average was 14.9mph and I was flying along with no trouble at all but as I progressed to 100 miles it my average and energy started going down and ended up at 13.5 which isnt too bad.
I now hurt in many places I didnt even know I had, but at least that is now out of the way. I think I will stick to 60-70 miles rides for a while.
