Decent effort today although we did get lost and ended up doing some cyclocross absolutely caked in mud not enjoyable at the time

Nothing compared to the previous ^^^^ two rides but 17.52 miles @ 14.34 mph av' I am happy with.

I can't ever imagine doing really long rides as despite the lovely countryside I cycle through I get bored after about 25 miles - low attention span maybe?

Stepped up the distance a little bit today and have done my first 50+ mile ride. http://www.strava.com/activities/168405306

Feel knackered now.

Not been out today, but did have a little browse in Decathlon......

So going to fit my Mavic Aksium wheels now....I really need to go there without my bank card!

Well today I went over the 3000 miles ridden since it all began in November!

Just 42 miles today on my route to the coast and back; the cool breeze from the sea was very welcome and I could have just sat there all day to cool me down! Took a few minutes off my previous best time, making that in 2hrs 38mins.

A lot to learn still, technically, but not so much the beginner now I feel.

My longest ride since I've been back in the saddle. It felt great, but I do resemble the Tin Man right now!

All the best

After a 3 week hiatus, finally got off my bum for a cycle over the hills to Box Hill and back. For the first time in a while, headed out with @themosquitoking. Must admit got left behind on most of the hills, felt very leggy with very little energy. Not sure if it was the humidity or heat, or maybe the fact I worked till 10pm last night, or just a general loss of fitness in 3 weeks, but all the hills I burned up last time were like a brick wall this time. Very tough.

Still, 13.8mph average with 2,031ft climbing over 33.6 miles I shouldn't complain too much, its not that far outside my usual pace.

Sorry haven't been around too much recently, been busy at work, and too knackered / lazy on my days off! Hope everyone is well, anyone heard any recent updates about @Mo1959?

Great ride there @Nigelnaturist!

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine!

Bloomin hell Nigel. Brilliant

Thinking about planning an early long route for tomorrow, but I've had this tight stretched pain in my foot arch that I'm in the process of googling (and icing to be on the safe side!).

I should know better by now not to ignore these little pains, but I want to cycle. :-(

@welsh dragon shows you just how much better the shifters are, though I guess some has to go to the chain and cassette, but the difference the shifters has made is amazing its enabled me to keep a much closer cadence 1hr55 @ 90-100 and 1hr11 @ 80-90 so just over 3hrs out of the 3hr45 moving time, but still not my quickest time over distance.
