Look at my average speed though! The more miles I do, the slower I go overall. I rather thought I'd retain a similar average speed as my muscles built up more. Went out for a ride with my husband today and he left me behind several times... I used to be faster than him! Weird, that.quote]

Maybe it's just been lack of recovery time and, with less miles next month, you may find that your average speed goes up quite a bit.

One heck of an achievment AH, not many have done that, perhaps a little less miles to help with recovery will help the speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done AH - a fantastic achievement... now try telling that to someone who loves their car and believes bikes are something you travel about half a mile on only:biggrin: and then only in summer when its not raining.

Well thank you Auntie Helen.
If it hadn't have been so windy around the course I reckon we'd have been over the 30mph average, was very very tough in places.

I managed an average of 11.2mph today on my 15 mile trip. Legs were hopeless this morning (didn't help that I was out at 9am which would have been 8am to my body). Had slightly more speed on the way home but cut the journey short. Think today will have to be a rest day now - I've clearly worn myself out.

And Mariussteyn has jumped ahead of me :laugh:

Yellow Jersey feminin... Cyclogs must make a new catagory for the ladies monthly winner.

Good plan, yes! This month would be the first and last time I ever win anything, I expect.

Still today I had a bit more vim (seem to have regained my cycling mojo) and have overtaken Mariussteyn. I think first and fourth in the overall rankings is pretty good for the CycleChat team!

I think this month has been great for everyone in the Cycle Chat team.

I'm very pleased that I did nearly 442 miles this month (my best ever), but at the same time disappointed that I rolled over this morning and had a lay in, so I had to drive to work. That meant I didn't hit my 450 mile target.

yep, good stuff you lot, certainly gives me a little something to go for. Nearly went out on the bike tonight just to sneak past Stevevw into 14th place(CC) only needed a couple if miles, but decided that would be petty of me. Passing the 500 was a biggie for me, hoping to keep that up.
