Another First 50 Miler

[Dewi]

Hi, I am sure its a common theme but I've managed my first 50 mile ride this morning. Lovely day on the North Wales coast so with a work colleague we went from Colwyn Bay to Point of Ayr and back via the cycle track. We had to do some local roads at the end to take us up to the magic 50 and even though I was flagging towards the end I was determined to keep the miles turning over.

Despite doing regular 40 mile rides years ago I've only done 10-20 mile rides recently so it was a step up. Having read posts and advice here I took some food and it certainly helped.

The plan is to go a bit further next time with a trip to Chester and back (and a 100 miles +) as the long term target.

Well do................I'm a bit the same, used to do it 12 years ago, but now it's getting harder. But I'll get there one day.

Thanks for the replies. I am certainly going to be pushing further when time allows at the weekends as well as doing as many 10-20 mile rides as I can in the evenings after work, weather permitting…
