Sorry if this sound familiar but as posted previously I am 68 yrs old and back into cycling this year. I set myself a target to do a 68 mile ride.
My biggest problem was (as previously posted) a sore a**e after 30/40 miles which prevented me doing another ride for a week.
Anyway......enough about my rear end
***........yesterday I managed the ride (68.4 mile to be exact but whos counting).
I took the bike to New Brighton so as to do the coastline around to Burton Marshes etc. along with a friend.
When we got out of the car were surprised to find it was blowing a hard cold wind........but we were there so went for it.
The 1st 35 miles were really hard against the wind but the final 33 were much better.
***re' my poor rear......I am posting another thread re' a good cycle fit.........intresting.
