Managed my first ever "century plus" yesterday:- Lancaster, Crag Bank, Arnside, Sandside, Levens, Brigsteer, Crosthwaite, Winster, Bowness-on-Winderemere, Staveley-in-Cartmel, Cartmel, Grange, Meathop Moss, Sampool Bridge, Levens Bridge, Sandside, Arnside, Crag Bank, Morecambe (we were back to my mate's house with 73 miles up and I decided to "go for it" ), Lancaster, Glasson Dock, Galgate, Bay Horse, Quernmore, Caton, Brookhouse, Lancaster .... 107 miles on the bike 'puter .... no idea of the ascent, no mega climbs but multitudes of very lumpy undulations. Not quick at 11.30; but it included one puncture ..... and 3 cafe stops plus brews at 2 mates' houses ... what retirement cycling is all about.
Absolutely cracking day to be out on the bike; cloudless blue skies, warm sunshine without being too hot and not a breathe of wind.
Ian.
