    54mph!!!

    So yes, a Daz Challenge contender by the sounds of things. So the question is.....how long for the 100 and did you get to 6hrs 41mins total??

    er, sorry, that was 2 questions.

    Enticements, yes, we can do that.........there is the prospect of commemorative Steam Bunny cycle shirts and honorary Steam Bunnyhood...

    No it took a chuffing eternity....think I was wailing 'give me a triple' at one point ran out of gears!

    was a sportif thing so lots of stops for tea and cake!!!

    to be fair the weather was shocking, horrendous gales and then at 80 miles it started to chuck it down, the bike was almost launched into the nearest hedge by 95 miles!!! No grous to work with so the going was tough...they say it's good trainng though for what exactly I'm not so sure!

    Blimey, I'm dead impressed in that case. Stopping for tea and cake is vital I reckon. Mind you isn't needing a triple a sin of weakness:

    Got our local sportif in a couple of weeks, Dragon Ride, 120 miles and loads of climbing. Rubbish feed stations last year, no cake!!

    Re: Todays Bike Ride

    Ah, I had forgotten about the Daz challenge... doing a 50 mile race next week, maybe I should just keep riding until I hit 100, or alternatively, ride for 6.40??? hmmm, that will be a fair amount more miles...
