May

Hope to get lots more rides in but for a change I thought I’d make life a little easier for 13 Rider by reporting early (by my standards)!

Will update points at he end of the month as (I’ve only told you lot 3x already) I’m in the ride 100. So training so far this month keeps me in loop for 50 metric and Imperial.

115kms 8th 5th.

Took train to Enfield to avoid usual roads out of town. My only objective was to see a bit of Welwyn Garden City where I stopped for Eggs Benedict. Downside of just following my nose was the roads I rode were not well surfaced and too many were busy. Still it was fun on a beautiful sunny day. And without the stop start getting out of town I managed to average 25kms, a new record on my second ever longest ride!!!.

52kms 2nd 5th. Usual jaunt to Epping Forrest but found a new hill to enter and experimented by coming back through Walthamstow.

14th May

Set off on a bike bought less than 24 hours previously with no miles target.
Out of town heading towards Irchester , Poddington then on to Harrold and Turvey .

It was here that I extended my aim from 25 to 50 ish so pushed on towards Emberton , Olney , Yardley Hastings, Denton , Castle Ashby, Grendon, Wilby then Mears Ashby and home with 43 under the belt so slightly shorter than 50 miles but still a useable ride .

Bike used Cannondale t6000 touring
