Half century

[Dave Carey]

Well thats a slight exaggeration due to time we had to divert our route slightly however 48 miles is my new longest ride. Had to really push the last 10 miles to get back in time but definately felt I could have gone on further.

First ride with the clipless pedals as well which really seemed to improve my pedaling, suprisingly easy to clip in and out.

Friendly tip, think metric.
77Km sounds much more impressive than 48 miles.

Well done!

Why 64.

Naw it don't, anyone that knows anything knows that a Km is just under 2/3 of a mile.

 

[DaveyM]

Coz it means you break the metric century at 102 km roughly 64 miles


ETA - thats just the way I worked it out. 62.5 seemed odd and I wanted to make sure I well and truely past it

Can i ask what pedals?

[SpokeyDokey]

Good ride - well done to you.

 

[Dave Carey]

Thanks everyone I appreciate the congratulations. If anything this ride has made me want to get out and clock up more miles.

And well done.

I have Shimano M324 pedals.

I do feel I need to embrace metric, my brain is struggling to move away from miles!

It does that to you, wish our lass would understand.

I also broke through the 50 mile mark this weekend. Although I DIDN'T feel I could have gone on much longer, my out and back route turned me round into the wind and it was really hard going. My training plan talks of 65-70 next weekend, but I'm thinking I might split it up a bit with a cafe stop or a pitstop at home.

Well done, Dave
