Your ride today.... (part 1)

[Andrew_Culture]

My boss told me he doesn't cycle to work because it's nothing but seven mile hill between our factory and his house, so at lunchtime I decided to find out if he was correct.

He is correct...

The journey back to work was awesome though, I managed to smash my previous speed record and went just over 36mph :confused:

My longest ride this year today. 55 miles around mid Norfolk. Lovely day but ridiculously chilly for May.

Only 23 miles last night but I probably should have done about 50 to cancel out the mahoosive steak and ale pie that I accidentally bought instead of the pea and ham soup I intended to order

Another 20 today ... that's 6002 miles since I started cycling last January

20 miles commuting today, 6.5 miles this morning, 13.5 this evening.
One dead barn owl, several reed warblers churring away (i assume, you hear them, not see them...an almost train like rhythmic noise), skylark, plenty of waterfowl (in the fens today, dykes intersect everywhere)...nice weather, not too much wind.

Just 1.22 miles down to work and 1.33 back from my new digs; I meant to go for something longer after work but I got caught up doing stuff and wasn't sure I had enough light if I got lost.

Back on the bike again for a few weeks after breaking my wrist - stil painful but I can live with it. Went on the ByPass route today - about 34kms. My three major landmarks are a Hino/Kia dealership, junction of Hwy 205 and the ByPass and a PTT service station.
I try to reach Hino/Kia at about 30 mins, ByPass at about 40 - today, it was 28 mins and 38 mins and would love to get to the PTT in less than one hour but that is 27.something kms away and my average is less than 25. I must have had a tailwind good day today as I pulled into the PTT at 00:59:57! Could l do the last few kilometers and get home quicker than 01:15:00 - just missed it by 13 seconds.

Only meant to pop into town on the road bike to pick up my new pedals but ended up doing a 23 mile loop. I think the denim cut offs and rugby shirt look is a winner.

55 mile loop on the s/s Manchester---Glossop--Holme Moss
and home,chuffin windy out there today,it did blow me up the
last hill on the way home which was nice

 

[HLaB]

Just 2.5miles today and tomorrows ride will probably be off too, the crank on the folding BSO has come loose again. I'm going to see if I can get hold of a Viking Fixie tomorrow.

 

[defy-one]

Didn't get to ride Thursday or Friday, due to work commitments - feeling something is missing!
Overtime tomorrow - if I don't get out riding I shall be most upset :-(

45 mile this morning...

From alloa up through glendevon, then along the back of gleneagles to braco, then green loaning, then up to sheriffmuir(the hill up from green loaning nearly killed me) a wee trip down to bridge of allan then back home to alloa, longest distance i`ve went so far, legs are a bit sore but still glad i done it

 

[coffeejo]

A leisurely 33 miles to one of my favourite coffee stops (Curry Mallet Stores) with the ladies. Looks like a friend and I are going to sign up to become Breeze "Champions". Meep!

 

[Cletus Van Damme]

23 mile loop today at a fairly slow pace. I am pleased with myself though as I had a second knee surgery in January and it still is not right, but might as well make the most of it.

Around 30 miles in total for me today. A loop via the Upper HighTown Road > Seven Mile Straight > Ballyutaog Road. It was meant to be dull and grey today. I didn't take my camera: wish I had. It turned out a lovely day and the views from the Upper HighTown and Ballyutaog Roads are superb.
