Another first for me:
My first ride purely for pleasure - no where to get to, no time to get there for, no one to keep up with, no one to help me, no one to encourage me, no one to hold me back (ok, thats never gonna happen haha), no time limit. Just me, my bike and the open road (well, cycle paths).
I wanted to go for 12 miles, but after 5.5 I got a bit lost so turned round. Well I was not lost exactly......the cycle path just seemed to come to a dead end! So by the time I got home, it was 11 miles. My furthest in one go. When I do 16 to and from work, I have the working days break in between.
I must have miscalculated my total miles on here or missed a ride off. My bike computer says 90 after today's ride but my calculations on her was up to 74 plus today's 11 = 85. What's 5 miles? Let's just call in 90......means after my next ride, I hit my first century! Me, cycling 100 miles in 3 weeks, who would have thought it?
I'm so proud that I overtook someone today - another first you ask? Nah, I can't really count it, she was about 4, on a trike, being pushed by granny!
I weigh in at fat class tomorrow. Need to reach my 1st target of a stone. So that's 2.5lb required. I might get the 2 but not sure about the other half (lb not hubby lol). I did have a heavy sesh on the drink in the lakes Saturday night.
That's 2 firsts I hope for by the weekend. My first stone off and my 1st 100 miles under my belt.
Total miles 90
Bum - still big
Ease of ride - not as challenging as before, must push myself a little more
Average speed (don't laugh) - 8.4 mph. Last time it was about 6.3 so I have improved!
New sexy padded knickers - gave me a VPL, very unbecoming.
