Hi All - got some newbie progress over here! I managed to rack just under 20 miles on my usual route and manged 15.5 mph avg over 18.9 miles with 1645 ft of climbing. I know its not a huge ride by any means but it's my fastest avg speed yet. Stoked

Good to see everyone's progress here. some of you guys are really racking up the miles... your mycyclelog counters are bonkers!!!

feel like I'm fourteen... out testing tires tonight, tbf it was getting dark and at one point I was flying through clouds of nats, but it felt good. Fairly simple track. Stopped by a lady who came shouting at me (tbf I was cycling on a footpath) "Is that an electric bike?" ....was unsure wether to take offence or take it as a compliment! As friendly as she turned out to be, I'd have rather been cycling for the 14 mins she spent telling me about how why she didn't want anyone to complain, because she rides an electric bike there whilst 'walking' her dog. Thankfully there are no challenges that way. I bought the tires to explore Malvern more.

I am now less than 300Km off the challenge. Down to about 30 miles a day (Just less than 50Km)

Your like me with my new wheels last week, I cant seem to stop, what a difference they have made.

Thanks, not as much climbing as you did, the routes around here dont usually work out to be more than 60ftp/mile

Great work!

 

[DaveyM]

I was meant to be on a half day today...didn't happen!!!!
so a quick 8.5 miles managed 16mph again tonight.

Have ordered some new tyres almost slicks, so I cant wait to get these winter CX tyre off and try something a little slimmer and faster(hopefully)

Nice one.

I don't think I would totally agree with that.

 

[IanA]

I don't think I would totally agree with that.

Maybe.....we could of course do an experiment ! if you all club together and buy me a carbon TT bike I saw today...it's only £3500 then I could ride the same course next Wednesday and we can compare the results......
