That would be "that which didn't kill you, makes you weary"[/B]That saying is the biggest load of old b*ll*cks going!
So, you nearly die of Covid-19, somehow survive, and then suffer long Covid... Is that really going to make you stronger?!!!
Or, in my case, devastating blood clots permanently damage one leg, my lungs, and (probably?) my heart... I struggle now to average the speed in kph that I used to do in mph!
Did you enjoy the ride whilst you were doing it, with no adverse effects from doing it?
It's a fair comment. I agree that I am not in a race so it shouldn't matter, but I want to do long, hilly rides in a reasonable amount of time. I used to do 200 km audax rides with (say) 3,000 m of ascent in 10 hours. I have given up on them now because I would be in a right state by the finish and would be struggling to finish in daylight!

I feel uncomfortable from about 50 kms if hills are involved. If the route is flat the discomfort would start at more like 50 miles.
The truth is though that I don't know how much is due to wear and tear on my body, and how much is just lack of fitness! I will try harder next year and see what happens!
As in 'harder than during 18 months of Covid-19 pandemic' as opposed to 'harder than before'!
As in harder than before you gave up long distance rides against the clock.
OkayIt was a statement, not a question!
I would like to be able to do long hard rides pushing myself, or the same rides more slowly without them hurting.
Me too. Still dark but it’s dry. However the forecast is saying some rain soon. Different jacket required for my wander this morning.
There must be a lot of old 'accepted' sayings that are b*ll*cks.That saying is the biggest load of old b*ll*cks going!

Good morning folks, I've got to talk to someone about getting a MOT and service done this morning, and I've got some wheelchair repairs to do this afternoon.
