    Ahh fair enough mate :)

    Went out again today and did 17.7 miles, averaged 15.3mph which I was damn pleased about :D

    Just joined the 300 miles in 30 days challenge on mapmyride, should give me incentive :D

    Whereabouts did you get to? I've been working on increasing my average speed...I'm at around 17mph over 15 miles. I can do that in around 50 minutes. I want to try and get it a little higher but so long as I'm averaging around 17/18 I'm happy....there's a great bit around Ballam where I've been hitting 30. :D

    What time are you usually going out at? I may come out for a quick sprint after work tomorrow maybe around 8pm.

    I went upto wrea green via ballam, then back the other way via saltcoats (hit 27mph down there :D). Then onto the front of lytham, all the way past st.annes until the end of the road (theres a sharp right and it goes to a T junction to join the red pebble road - that the one with QMS on it) then ride back down there to ansdell bridge and i'm practically home :)

    this is the route...

    Going out around 7:30/8:30. just depends what i'm doing/what time I eat/how knackered I am from work :lol:

    If you send me a PM before you go- if you're up for it that is, I'll probably come out tomorrow.

    That is a good route there. I do this one...little shorter but along a similar vein.

    I love giving my routes cheesy names. "Wrea Green Classic" hahahaha.

    sound like fun :)

    Just as long as you remember i'm a slow, aching (from todays ride), unfit nood with a heavily bruised hand :wink:



    hahahaha!

    Would be good for a more experienced roadie to look at my riding position too + for me to see someone elses! :D

    BTW, Bianchii, didn't pass you on Ballam road did I?

    You wouldn't have done, I was at work most of Tuesday, although if you saw me on Monday I would have been pushing my bike down there as I got a puncture just outside Lytham Hall. 30 minute walk home! I am next in the saddle on Friday!

    I take it you dont you carry a spare tube or repair kit when you are out ?
