My first 100+ miles

[smokeysmoo]

Nice one buddy. I've got my first century ride planned for this August. I've done a few 60+ milers but never the ton. Plus my fitness is low at the moment so I need to start getting out and building the miles.

I'm doing the Great Manchester Cycle in a couple of weeks. Signed on for the 52 miler but you have to maintain 18mph for the full distance so I'm getting worried.

Anyhoo, well done again

PS: I dream of being 15 stone

I did the cat last year, longest ride before doing it was 34 miles and was new to cycling in the July before it. Oh, I was 17 stone at the time! (Now 16) I Did it in 6.5 hours and cried like a baby once I got in my car! Mind, I was doing it for cancer research and got a text of my (now late) mother in law saying well done. She died of Cancer a month later.
