I restarted cycling last October and up to two weeks ago my maximum distance was 14 miles. Then my old mate, who has been cycling for a good few years, took me under his wing. In the last two weeks I've been for three rides with him, the first was 25 miles, the second 35 and today's effort was 47 at an average speed of 12 mph, the last 6 or 7 miles was a bit of a slog but overall I very much enjoyed the ride. Left to my own devices I'm not sure that I would have upped my distance quite as quickly as that!

I try and do 50 miles at a weekend ,don't have enough time on weekdays as work gets in the way ,get up most mornings at 4:30 to get my excercise in before the day starts, I ride every other morning and the mornings not riding are spent weight lifting and a 4/5 mile walk before I have to leave the house

31.07 miles I think is the conversion.

You are correct maths not my strong point

You are correct maths not my strong point

You make up for it by being a very good bike rider.
