Thankfully there's no major damage! That's the most important thing.
I went off to complete a good ride, thinking my cough would clear up after half an hour...it didn't. On my way home I got engulfed by a pretty fast moving club ride, which was good as I was told to filter in and make the most of it. However they all turned left at a fork in the road, where I followed the main carriageway, I probably should have signalled. After my 30 miles on pain I decided to go for a run to try and do a bit of cross-training. My legs were on autopilot by the end and just about managed to get me home.

Oh no SD, sorry to hear about your 'off'. Delighted to hear no major damage to bike or, most importantly really, person! My bruises and grazes from my own, (minor) off are on the mend, so I can confirm that skin heals better than clothes. Take care (and paracetamol) cos its gonna hurt tomorrow!
Get well soon

How are YOU feeling too boybiker? Improving I hope
Home from Skegness, was a great ride and awesome time/speed. was 19.1mph avg up until 75miles where the wind was getting the better of us slightly. Group of 3 stuck together taking turns on the front really helped!
Even managed a KOM and 2 top 10's lol. Well until the other riders upload their rides haha!
Ride completed in 4hr19mins!

Still a bit stiff and I also found out the tooth I cracked was my wisdom tooth. It cracked because it was already rotting. Not due to lack of care but because its so far back I cant clean it properly so they are going to take it out for me
. In a way its good it cracked so I went and got it checked out and they are going to sort it out soon. So with the tooth out, the bike fixed and a bit of rest I will be back on the bike soon

I know tell me about it!
I would kill to get average speeds like that. I thought my 16.5mph averages over 20 odd mile was good.

He must have been holding onto the support car when getting his water bottle
.In all seriousness I think this was a group ride and its surprising how much speed you can gain from chain ganging. Still a great achievement never the less, I'm guessing they didn't stop to get a speed like that!

Haha lol. When I go on group rides I find its a little easier going but nothing like those speeds. I guess more riding will increase that

I think some of the additional speed depends on who you are riding with.
