51.94miles today.
I wanted to go around the block to bring it to 52miles but Arch said No, I felt comfortable enough to do a ride down to Pluto and back on route 65 but that would be another 26 miles and I would probably have to do it on my own I think.
Still, when I do my imperial century I might decide to wear cycle clothing instead of the tee shirt, jeans and steel toe boots. No chaffing problems but I might look more like a 'proper' cyclist.
I figured I will probably do a 75 miler as the next step after a couple more 50 mile rides. I might even do a 50 mile ride with a trailer on tow.
I couldn't have done it without Arch, she knew the way and offered lots of encouragement, though I did feel bad when I found I was still active and not aching and Arch was flaked out on the bed. It was the other way around a couple of years ago.
Tiddles' folding pedal is suffering after the ride. Very clicky and noticeably wobbly. Time for a replacement bearing I reckon.
So, at some point we will need to plan rides local to me to build up to the century ride. Not looking forwards to ride with proper hills though.
I have been asking MDB about the trains running on Corsica as well.
No name given, so as not to spoil it for Colin.
I am here you know
