Today's Bike Ride

[Al Fowler]

What a day to be out and about! 16 of us set off and with the help of a tailwind, we flew through the lanes out to Longridge and Garstang at a rapid rate of knots. Here I peeled off and headed through Scorton and through the Trough Of Bowland, Dunsop Bridge, Whitewell, Little Switzerland, Bashall Eaves and back to Whalley and home. Fantastic clean, dry lanes with a low traffic volume made all the more pleasant by clear skies and sun. Cracking ride, probably 70 miles and 4 hours.

Ady, i think if i was to do 70 miles, my legs would be jelly for weeks.
Sometimes when i set off to work (its only 3 miles so i bomb it there and back each time) my legs are like lead and it seems as though ive done a 100 miler the day before. I cant understand it.

Do you eat much whilst your on your 70 miler etc rides.



A 2 mile sprint for me today whilst i gave the fecking lawn mover chance to have a think about itself as it didnt want to start after not using it since when ever it was last!

No stop, 2 bananas and 1 litre of orange cordial today and 2 crumpets for brekie
You want to get yourself out on a club ride with a group, the miles fly by when you are sat in the group chatting. Doing the distance is fairly easy with a little bit of conditioning - it's doing the distance fast which is the hard part!
