Newbie first 30 miler

[roscoh]

Newbie here so please go gentle.

Decided today was the day that I broke the 30 mile mark. Cycled from Bristol to Bath in glorious sunshine. I even got to race the steam trains along part of the cycle track.



The computer said I had done 32 miles in 2hrs. I reckon I'll take that.


Next time I'll aim for 40 miles.



Anyway i was so chuffed I thought I'd let somebody know!

Respectable distance in a respectable time...well done.

Great stuff. And what a beautiful day for it! I only did a gentle 20 today because I had nothing in my legs but that didn't matter because it was just so lovely to be out and feeling warmth from the sun in a cloudless sky in mid-October. Maybe having taken it easy today will mean I'm up for a good ride tomorrow. Make miles while the sun shines

Roscoh, That's great. Welcome to the site. I've only been on here a week myself. Don't be afraid of asking any questions - no matter how daft they may seem. The members here are so friendly and non-judgemental - they understand that people are new to this game. Hope you enjoy many years of trouble free and enjoyable cycling.

Brave to do the bristol to bath cycle path on a Saturday afternoon. It's ironic that imo it is anything but a cycle path! Congrats on the new milestone!

 

[roscoh]

Thanks for the replies. It was really busy yesterday on the cycle track. I don't think it helped that they were running the steam trains as there was peeps with camera's everywhere.

Between dodging them and the occasional wayward horse it was quite an adventure!

Well done, how did you feel? Still working towards that one, just did my twenty yesterday and still buzzing. Who needs drugs.

Cool! That's a very respectable distance/time- managed 26 miles in 1.5 hrs yesterday & just got in from a gentle 16 mile bimble in an hour this morning- the weather is just perfect for cycling IMHO - cool - windless & sunnyish - loverly!!! ;-)))
