Did my first 20miler today (Although I lost a bit of it on Strava as I kept messing about with it)
Feeling great, very pleased with myself.
Awesome, well done, great mileage.

Cheers buddy. Appreciate it!
The weight is starting to drop off me as well, just hope I don't lose the power, coz clearly hulking nearly 20stone around for a few years has helped build up them leg muscles!

Awesome!
Strava is very easy to mess about with, so I know where you are coming from on that one!

Thanks.
Lesson learnt, I'll be starting it and LEAVING IT ALONE while riding in the future.
Great App though.

I'm waiting for my Triban 3 to be delivered and my mountain bike is broken, so I jumped on the step-daughter's MTB for the Sunday ride. It is too small, but not by that much - it was better than nothing.
I went a new route and discovered a very steep hill! 0.6miles, average gradient of 5.3% apparently and it topped out at 12% (please don't tell me that they get steeper...)

At the top I accidentally clicked finish on the Strava app, so I had to start a new ride for the journey home. As I was on the MTB, I had a little poke around Langdon Hills park first, but there were lots of dogs, so I didn't stay long.

I'm not ashamed to say, going back down the hill scared the Bejessus out of me (it was very steep and not a great road surface either), my max speed according to Strava was 29.8mph. (there is a glitch that for some reason shows I got upto 44.5mph but I can assure you I didn't!)
An enjoyable morning ride - but I'm looking forward to trying this route again with a proper bike

Well a lot has been going on. Well done everyone I will try and catch up with every ones rides later, as I am not feeling that well, I was ok out to 20 miles, I dont know if I have done too much or I am coming done with something, anyway after thigs went a little pear shaped I ended up on the A1 just before Donny, I should have realised when I say a garage (should have realised before really) anyway a pretty hairy 2.3 miles ensued, (I thought the road was a touch busy to start with but put it down to schools breaking up)
http://ridewithgps.com/segments/A1-segment after this I just wasn't motivated for what ever reason.
39miles @ 14.2 mph.
