Done my first 30

[Strick]

Well, actually 29.2 according to my GPS, but I had done 7.29 in to work in the morning, so i'm claiming it as 30.
I appreciate its a warm-up compared to what some of you guys are doing, but I was quite chuffed with myself anyway.
Having been off the bike for almost a fortnight, the commuting from Wednesday onwards last week was proving tougher than usual. Then my biking buddy asked if I fancied a jaunt "on the way home" on Saturday. I had nothing specific planned so we went for it.
Average speed was poor, but we did stop for a few minutes a couple of times to watch the Fire Brigade practicing rescues, then some guy photographing a nice young lady on the river bank. Anyway, I digress.....
All in all, a very enjoyable ride, taking in a few new roads.

30 miles is a good ride and if you enjoyed it then all the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

30 miles is a good ride, plus you got to see a few sights to make the ride a bit better. Well done.

Spot on indeed; I know too well what an achievement that must feel like being new to this mesen. Tomorrow my intention (have mapped it) is to tackle a 38 mile ride; uphill and down dale a bit but have plenty of time. Off for a couple of days to visit my near 80 year old Uncle in London, so want a good blow out before I go.

Thanks for the comments folks. One thing that may have helped it be even more enjoyable, that I hadnt realised at the time, is that the ride was completely free of moton moments.
Hoping we can do similar next weekend, seeing as I'm having to work Saturday again it makes sense to tag it on to the end of that.

Hope you enjoy your ride tomorrow Mozzy.

I used to go thinking it had to be 40 - 50 miles , these days i am quite happy tootling round a 20 mile ride if the scenery is nice

Excellent, even better with the view on the river bank.

Well done 30 is a decent distance

Nice one. I have decided to ignore my averages if I can while I build up the miles in my legs

You cant have it all.

Thats a very good way of looking at it.
