Hello :hello:

Back from my ride about an hour ago. Found it quite inspiring. I've been struggling with my form for months. Every time I go on an official club ride I come back feeling better and motivated. We knocked out 18.6 avg over 60 miles today. Very happy. Got home with 17.9 and 72 miles.

Lamb steaks for tea and apparently I'm cooking.........this presumes I can still walk at 6.00pm. 😄
In my humble opinion...... assuming you mean MPH as against KPH that is some going.
My av over 35 miles was only ever 13 mph.

I'm sure that he does mean miles. It would be odd to measure distances in miles, but speeds in kms per hour! (Plus, Paul is pretty fit and 18.6 kph would be a very easy 11.5 mph which he wouldn't feel particularly pleased about!)

I used to do the Manchester 100 (imperial century) in Cheshire solo at an average of about 16.5 mph.

Great finish at the ToB today, but Ned and Adam seriously deficient in their knowledge of where they were. Not once did they acknowledge that they were in Royal Deeside and that Balmoral was just down the road. Not even when they passed through Ballater, famous for all its royal connections. And when they passed over the Dee, Ned observed that ‘presumably’ it had salmon fishing :wacko:

Well, after much swearing and hitting things with a hammer my new 66" Samsung telly is on the wall.

Was never really impressed with the UHD and upscaling on my old 50 inch Toshiba, but thismreally is something else. Even Mrs D is impressed.

I am sure watching the rubbish programs and repeats in superb high definition will make them much more enjoyable ;)
