Slower than a marathon runner!

Yesterday I did a monster bike ride! Well it's the longest I've ever ridden for anyway, just over 26 miles!


You might have read from my main blog that my bike has been serviced and has new wheels etc. so I thought I'd give it a good trial run and by jove I did!


It was a beautiful morning, clear skys and a brisk wind. The first 11k whizzed by, probably helped by the strong wind behind me, but unfortunately the rest of the ride was into the strong wind, even going downhill I had to pedal to not slow to a stop or go backwards!


It was a really good ride and the bike is back in prime condition ready to go back into regular sessions.


I did keep a record of other rides, but at the moment I can't be arsed to post them, so here's the one from yesterday.
