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 :smile:***........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.

Superb Dave well done. I myself done my first 100 miles on Sunday I was Sore, Tired but seeing that 100 on my Garmin really lifted my spirits
Have to be honest............my friend "did have" a 100 as our next target but after that we both felt the same i.e. a) we would have to start out at midnight :smile: and b) not sure we could ever be up for it.
TBF it was a very strong wind against us so maybe on a pleasant day ???
But well done for your achievment.

2 years ago if you told me i'd ride 100 miles i would have laughed in your face, Fek 40 miles i'd have smiled wanly. this time next summer you'll be on here telling us you done a ton, We did have terrific weather last Sunday and a slight tailwind on the way home so that helped, should have done another 2 to get home but my mates car just looked Sooo inviting
