The 2021 Half Century (50km or 50m) a month challenge

[Chap sur le velo]

For once got in early will update later in month but I'm still in the game.
Used Ride with GPS to plan a route back form Brighton (train down) and I was really impressed with the quiet well paved roads it chose. A couple of gravel paths near Sutton and a nightmare bit of A24 were slight belmishes but |I had a great time. My longest ride 130 km and easily the most meters climbed. 12 08

Bognor Regis, Westergate, Fontwell, Slindon, Eartham, Petworth, Halfway Bridge, Easebourne, Midhurst, Cocking, Singleton, Lavant, Chichester, Mundham, Pagham.

Fastest speed a little higher then the previous ride down Duncton Hill, 43mph! This without trying really, no hard pedalling, but I’m not sure whether I’m brave enough to try to break this.
Some hills which dropped my right down when climbing, but I got back, and have some little aches in my legs, but nothing serious, oh, and an indicated 93 degrees too, according to the Elemnt, and it was a glorious day!
9 points in total.

Yes, you are.

 

[stoatsngroats]

🤣🤣 maybe you don’t know me very well! Or maybe you know me better than I know you!

1st August: 31.22 miles - Abandoned my planned 70+ miler when the rain that the forecasts said was meant to be a brief shower, turned out to be a downpour which would have continued for most of the rest of my ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/5721047078 - 1 point
10th August: 32.01 miles - Probably my final chance to get a midweek point as from next week I'll no longer be working from home. Route out to Haddenham with lots of meandering to achieve the required mileage - https://www.strava.com/activities/5770981627 - 1 point
15th August: 76.39 miles - The third attempt at doing my planned route out to Towcester and this time I completed it! No major climbs but very little flat either - https://www.strava.com/activities/5797998962 - 3 points
