Well done. Did you stop for cake en route or did you have cake after.

I had cake during, it was fish and chips by Skeggy beach after

Thank everyone.
Monkeylc I am slightly mature (in age) early 50's and did it with no problems

I am actually surprised about the lack of aches, the only minor problem is the tip of my left little finger is still completely numb!

@Sara123 well done. Riding with open fields with a headwind especially a north to easterly one can really tax you every bit as a little bit of climbing, as there is no rispite .

Early 50s is not mature in age!! Still very young.

Sweet !
What route did you take ? i keep dreamign of riding from Burton upn Trent to Skeggie or Hunstanton .

 

[MikeG]

I reckon that's just under 100 miles. I hope you rode on a bit to score your first ton?

Well done......

Fantastic stuff ! Well done to you.

I too am very new to this (about 8 or so road rides to date) and cannot believe I am now approaching 100 miles a week and have completed a 50 miler with another due in next 4-5 weeks.

I am constantly thinking about cycling now.

I hope that I am able to continue to ride right up until I pop my clogs. I hope that is at least another 40 years from now !!!

Have just seen how long Leicester to Skeggy is !

VERY well done !!!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Well done, even more of an achievement doing it on the back of three months of training

 

[Sara123]

The route was A607 to Melton, B676 to Colsterworth, A151 to Corby Glen, , ripping dale, B1177 to Dowsby, B1397 to Gosberton, Boston, A52 Wainfleet then Skegness.
Didn't quite make the 100 miles wish I had but couldn't physically do any more!

It's a 100 mile ride in my book !

I rode from Leicester to Skegness yesterday with my work colleagues to raise money for pancreas and liver cancer research.
I did three months training and was worried about the first half being the hilly part but that was a doddle, the last 20 miles was riding into a strong headwind and was not, but I did it I did it!
If anyone had told me 6 months ago that I would be doing such a thing I would have said they were bonkers!

Sara, are we related? We share the same surname.
