Bl00dy trains....
Got a 115km charity bike ride tomorrow, and have just found out I have to ride there (extra 7 miles!!) cos there's no trains.
Marvellous

from his home raced then ran home cause he had no money for the buses.
So on yer bike.

Cor blimey. Thats quite a lot of peddling! I used to think Nottingham to Donny and back for the BTCC was a good ride!

Hmm, the roadie lot are doing just over 100 miles, but I'm on a mountain bike with fat knobblies which is at least twice as hard

Don't you ride quite often?
I don't ride that much myself, but it kinda makes sense in my head that if I was going to ride a bike (even a Mountain bike) on the road, then
I'd probably choose Road tyres... (assuming they are available!)

my old man use to get up on a sunday (just after the war, in the 1940's) and cycle 50 miles out of Manchester, do a 100 mile time trial and
cycle 50 miles home........ Photo's of him from that time show him as a sticklike figure with two bulges... his knobbly knees and sticky out
ears... He is a diffrent shape now... round IS a shape...
Smile and wave boys.... Smile and wave....

Jeez that hurt (and still does)
Glad to have done it - averaged 12.4mph, and the last 15 miles was agony. Do try and do quite a bit of cycling but usually 10 to 25 mile rides.
Longest previously done was 42 with a picnic in the middle.
First 25 miles reasonably flat, then mad!
