Limiting fluid is a silly thing to do at this stage.

Well ive done a couple rides 25 ish miles now so feeling alot more confident i can do it, going for my first 30 miles tomo.
Quite surprised that since i made this post i really did think having only done one 10 and one 14mile ride that i had no chance of doing 38 miles.
A few weeks later going only once a week and im comfortably doing 25s so im really happy with how its coming along.

Congratulations with your progress.

30 will become 50 miles, 50 will become 75. Soon you'll be signing up for your first century ride

I kid you not

Well just got back, done 30.5 miles.
2625 of elevation, not sure what that means but some of the hills were a killer!
2hrs 52mins

mashing a big gear ?

 

[gazza81]

No not really, found it more so in a high gear going up hill sitting down.

Had a bike fit last week too.

I dont use shoes with cleats tho, trainers at the moment. They are quite stiff soled though

If its front of the knee, raise your seat by 5mm. Try again in a day or two after a little recovery
