First 40 miler..

[Boon 51]

Just put my milage up by 10 mles to 40 miles.. I didn't set out to do that distance I just did it..
My left left knee hurts a little but I think thats due to an old injury as the leg has a fair bit of muscle wastage so my next outing will not be as long, just to be on the safe side.
Looking to do 50 miles next when my knee is better.

Nice mate,I hope to do that sort of mileage soon but im having problems with my knee at the moment, what sort of pain do you have in your knee as im trying to work out what mine could be

Very well done
Might pay you in the long run to have the knee checked out to prevent further injury.

I'm only guessing but I think its just a bit of tendon/ ligiment strain as I've not done this type of exercise in years, I'm not in pain when I walk, sit or stand.. I think its a bit of over doing it, as leg my muscles are fine.
Its a lot easier today bit I will keep an eye on it..

Well done you, I've yet to get to 30 miles.

 

[Reece]

hi all, did my usual 43 miles this morning (after it warmed up a bit though) a new p.b for me,2hrs 35 mins, don't think sky team will come knocking just yet but it's still a good feeling. safe cycling all.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Well done all! Always good to hear of new PBs.
Keep nibbling and drinking from the off and extending those miles comes relatively easily.

 

[Boon 51]

Cheers guys... as an after thought I dont think it was that much harder than a 30 miler or perhaps I'm just getting a bit fitter..

Can't wait to find out for myself.

Well done on the 40

 

[Eribiste]

Well done sir, did my first 40 a couple of weeks ago, got a 50 coming up in a couple of weeks. I suppose that'll be followed by a metric century sometime, and so it goes on. Is this slightly nutty or what?
