[Motobecane]

Good morning everyone its still dark and foggy here this morning and very humid

Fog on the Tyne eh? I'm now going to have an earworm !

Good afternoon Tea lovers. Its greyed over here but still rather warm. I'm cooking up a beef curry for tonight.

Good afternoon all, well I did it! 10.7 miles and I am not dead, for one part of it I was even going along in my highest gear. Didnt have to get off and push or anything, it was so pretty and nice I am dead pleased.

Great stuff @Smithbat

By this time next year you'll be knocking out 40k rides for fun

Let's hope so. I must say, I did feel I could go farther, maybe next time.

Not wanting to pry, just seems to have slowed down in that part. Even given them away doesn't appear to be easy.

Got a bit sidetracked with other stuff & CBA updating everything .....

Probably get back on it next week.

I meant the section as a whole, not just yours!

Its always worth remembering that you have to come back (or is it a circuit?). I once walked for miles and miles. Lovely day so I went on walking. Then I realised I'd have to walk back...

Pedal less(freewheel more) on the return. You'll have increased your distance, for a bit of extra effort.

It was a circuit so it was okay. We have worked out we can add another 5 miles to it too so next time we will aim for 15 miles.

I loved freewheeling on a slight downhill bit. I felt 13 again! Sun on my back, no cars, it was absolute bliss.

Here is a screenshot of my ride. See, one lovely circuit. We can go out round Ford and Dinton to add about 5 miles.

Any good at slow speeds. Have a go at freewheeling on a quiet stretch of road. An almost flat section near me, if quiet, Ill try it. Pedal as far as the same mark everytime and from there see how far I'll get.
Slight breeze and I get to try "sailing". Just over half a mile and then downhill from there. Last 2 miles often completed without a pedal being turned.

Today, a random stranger was blown away when I told her my age (got chatting about dog grooming and I said that I had groomed dogs fro 40 years). She said that I looked 10 years younger and that I was beautiful

Made my year, did that.

I reckon she fancied you.
