My First 100km ride

[Scoosh]

COMPLETED today !

102.67km of a loop from Kelty, Cleish, Crook of Devon, Yetts o' Muckhart, Dunning, Path of Condie, Kinross and back to Edinburgh via Forth Road Bridge.

Some serious climbs, some lovely scenery and, on my return - I can still walk, talk and am I looking forward to my bed

Dead chuffed - not bad for a 25yr old Peugot Aspin with 12 gears, 52/42 and 14-28 - but the nether regions are definitely a bit tender .

Bah, your putting me to shame!

 

[Scoosh]

Hardly - I don't have the new bike





yet

I've been doing a nice 'coffee run' to Linlithgow a couple of mornings this past week - a good flattish 52km, about an hour each way and a coffee in the middle. Civilisation !

 

[magnatom]

Linlithgow, civilisation? You've gone mad!

Congrats on the 100km I like to do a similar route Dunning to Path of Condie is very steep (I think it hits 21%, 1 in 4.76)

Well done mate

I aimed for my longest ever ride today. A 60 miler around the Somerset levels, no big hills as I was testing myself and didn't want to over do it. Just realised I'd done 97.41KM (60.53 miles). I'd have done the extra bit if I'd realised I was so close to the 100km. Ahhh damn! Oh well, aiming for a 65 miler next weekend. Well done on that though, with hills ! I'll have to build up to that.

Well done to you !!

It is infuriating when you check the imperial/metric equivalents and realise that, for a little bit extra ......
I have now decided that, when I chose a specific distance for which to aim, I will also check the imperial/metric equivalents ......
