OMG! So freaking proud of myself!

Here are my Mapmyride stats from today. Originally I had planned to just go to Ashford from Maidstone and get the train home, but I felt so warm and good I decided to carry on! Considering I did 9 miles yesterday with mum....This has been a very good weekend! I know the stats might look slow to some of you but this is my first BIG ride since August last year ( a big ride for me is over 20 miles ;-)

Well done! This can be quite addictive, and soon you will be riding 20 miles without even thinking about it .

congrats keep going and you don't even notice it and you have done 20, 25, 30 then 35 miles etc just don't get hung up on speed or distance they are both just figures just like heart rate and cadence! just enjoy the ride is what is say

before the end of this year i hope to have done my first imperial century (100 miles in a day) and so far my highest number of miles in a day is about 46 so i have my work cut out but will hopefully be on a road bike this summer!
Cheers Ed

100 miles a day!!! HOLY COW!!!! I'd like to think I could do 50 in a day....mainly nice....flat....coastal routes....via fish and chip shops and sweet stalls

Well done. I know all those rides very well. I have cycled them many times.

You didn't fancy the Hollingbourne Hill climb then?

 

[Lavender Rose]

no!! I feel like John Wayne as it is! Is Hollingbourne Hill where you go past the Dirty Habit pub? If so, I have done it, but I turn left and go to Thurnham x

HOLY COCKLES.....

I don't think he wore holes in them but I bet they where sore

 

[Lavender Rose]

Get yourself some padded shorts if you don't already have them .

 

[Lavender Rose]

I have very unflattering Muddyfox padded capri bottoms with pink day glo and a gel seat....I have a squidgy rear...(according to my mum) so I should be ok!!

Well done Charlotte. Like Ian I know most of the roads in Kent. Hollingbourne Hill is a beast! Do you plan your routes beforehand? There are so many lovely quiet roads in Kent, I always try and avoid the busier ones if I can.
