Did you and SteveLovell have the same math teacher by any chance?

Even i noticed that one this time.

It is cloudy here and just drizzling enough to mess up my glasses and make me spend a half hour cleaning my bike if I go out in it. I do want to go out for at least a quick 10 miles or so to stretch my legs. I also need about 50 more miles to hit 1000 miles for the month, something I would not have believed I would do this month. It has been a lot of riding.

Since May is normally such a nice month for riding weather, I still may go for 600 miles or so but don't think I will go after 1000 again this coming month.

Great work! Congrats on keeping up with the guys on the crazy bikes, and only being 1mph off is a great achievement. Hopefully the commute tomorrow won't be too hard

Cheers Steve luckily I'm still on holiday this week so I've not got a commute to worry about . I'm saving my legs until this new strava challenge starts in May

Cheers Steve luckily I'm still on holiday this week so I've not got a commute to worry about . I'm shaving my legs until this new strava challenge starts in May

FTFY.

I hate shaving my face enough as it is. The odds of me shaving my legs is pretty much slim to none, and slim left town. I guess I am a little lucky and will still be somewhat aero, I don't have a lot of body hair. (grass don't grow on the play ground )

Rule #50 One may never shave on the morning of an important race, as it saps your virility, and you need that to kick ass.

Very windy 8 mile circuit with OH in 51 mins this morning on the hybrid as taking the T3 would be OTT @SueEvesham is coming on very well.

Well done to Mrs E especially braving the wind. Blustery here too and I am currently enjoying my second rest day. Tomorrow is looking a bit calmer so will probably do a little bit.

Quiet on here today!

Sneaked a ride in this evening.

11.00 miles / 14.34 Av' bringing my monthly total to 112 miles - my best so far.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Think about it, 100 miles...on a bike. Its actually pretty damn far if you think bout it!!!!

I have kept thinking about this since you posted it.

And yes, 100 miles is a long way when you stop and consider it. Hadn't thought of it like that. .

I went out with a mate yesterday and felt very good so after leaving him at 40 miles or so with about 5 to get home, I thought what the heck and set out to do 50. Ended up doing 53 in all and felt like I had more in my legs. Rest day today but out again tomorrow. Loving it! Andy

It's strange how when I first started cycling even though I knew I could cycle say 15 miles certain places (15 miles or less) were unreachable in my mind. No I could never cycle to XYZ is what my brain use to say. Now my brain says how quickly can I get from A to B or even worse what hill can I go up to get there .

 

[Typhon]

Just been out for 16.5 miles before it got dark. Took it easier than normal, whilst still not dordling. I actually enjoyed it a lot more and was only 0.5mph slower than normal on that route.

I'll have to learn to take it easy more often. I'd probably be more inclined to get more miles in then too.

The strong winds we've been having for weeks are finally going to die down tomorrow so I'll be going for another ride tomorrow to finish April off. Roll on May! Loving these light nights
