I started when the weather got nicer and did 10 miles and then got up to 15. Then I stopped a few weeks cause I got sick and in 3 weeks I'm up to 20. Only shredded a few pounds and I eat really good so I'm hoping I'm building muscle. My average speed is 12 but I do go 14 to 15 at times. I'm so outta shape and a little overweight by 10 pounds.

@shelliemac and @Tiger15 Great to see some new faces. Looking forward to hearing about your miles building up. You will be amazed at yourself how quickly it will fall into place and you are doing a bit longer than you ever thought possible at the start.Finally woke up to a morning without wind here so set off with doing a decent distance in mind. Got to 50miles and rain came on but decided to press on and go for my second metric century. Ended up with 65 miles so pretty happy with that.

Why have you ditched the mycyclinglog sig?

Just fancied the veloviewer one for a change and thought having the two would be a bit too much.

Back from 29mi home>Richmond Park>home. It would have been 30 but my chain broke while trying to sprint away from traffic lights on the S Circ a mile from home. At least I'd averaged 15.7mph til then.

Well done and unlucky on the chain break. I ride Richmond Park pretty regularly, its a great place to cycle.
I was planning on doing a long ride , potentially MC too, maybe even the 70 miler I need to complete in the next 4 weeks. Instead, with 2 friends weddings coming up, I had to have my crown sorted at the dentists instead.
I hate dentists.

Word, I have to go to the dental hospital at some point in next couple of months (waiting to hear from them after I was referred by dentist) to have 3 teeth taken out because of wisdom teeth. Ace

Went out for a spin to try and sweat out the toxins from the last week of debauchery. Instead I set loads of PBs, I think it was the healthy eating+drinking that did this...

Nobody likes dentists, hi all, got tbh done bugger all, was at a gig last night and wasn't feeling the love today! Tomorrow is another day, sweating out toxins (why are kebabs such a good idea at the time? 
) may be a good idea............nice to see some new faces as well as old. Keep on trucking, stay safe
