That would be great. Drop me a line on the PM system. 1st Saturday in December is the Tinsel ride, out with the Yellowbellies

FINALLY got my 50km ride in for November. I have a touch of osteoarthritis in my right knee and it's been playing up a lot over the last couple of weeks. I've been really fed up. I had planned to get the 50km in on Tuesday after my BT assessment day at Lincoln. Got as far as Stixwould and @BottomCrank texted saying that he was finished for the day. He's not really the 'tea on the table when I get in' type but we only see each other Mon - Thursday. Weekends he is rowing, I'm kayaking so getting to see each other is important. I turned for home and kicked on a bit so got a 20 mile ride in.
Today I simply headed up to Woodhall Spa, got on the Rail Trail to Bardney, had coffee and a flapjack at the Railway Cafe place and rode back again for that all important 50km. No idea if my knee will hold for anything more this month.

Been a while due to medical reasons.

Hard work but done. Treated myself to a toasted tea cake and a hot chocolate at Frederick's 15 point something miles in then turned round and came home by a slightly different route avoided hills as much as possible due to my lack of miles but still climbed over 300 metres.

Legs not happy, no rest for the wicked two year old grandson will keep me busy tomorrow.

One more ride next month and 50 miles needed to complete my 2,000 miles.

Very pleased with myself.

Six weeks or so before the end of this year's challenge and only one more ride post 30 November.

 

[Sbudge]

Well my November 50km was actually over a 100 but a cold has meant I've not been able to ride for a few weeks so I didn't want to stop at just 50. (Already 'bagged' my November 100 at the start of the month).

Hoping to get mine in on Saturday morning. Had a rubbish month of illness and it’s meant I’ve hardly been out on the bike!

 

[tallliman]

I was waiting for Saturday's ride before updating!!

 

[Renmurew]

Thanks for the hedge. I'm hoping to complete mine on Sunday. Should have been last Saturday but I ducked out at around 40k as the strong winds at the start of my ride never really died down and mental fatigue and fading light set in. Onwards and upwards for Sunday.
