A few firsts for me today:

My first ever 40 mile ride, which I did in 2:09
I did the second 20 miles in 1:00 dead
And the third 10 miles in 27:03 - have been just nipping under the 30min mark for a few weeks so very happy.

Persevering the cold and wet is finally paying off!!

    Wow!!

    That's bloody quick!
    Nice one!

    :o

    Faster than I've ever done 40 miles...
  • I'm now feeling it though - I've just eaten everything in the fridge!! It's relatively flat out here (CA) compared to my normal haunts (Yorkshire!)

    Gosh that's fast! (Now that I've converted it all to kph!) You must be feeling great! Very impressive 10mile time too. :)

    I did my first solo 2hr+ ride two weeks ago....nowhere near your speed/distance tho (but I still came back completely buzzing!) I didn't eat for the whole time I was out and then didn't stop eating for about 2 days!

    Flat course, or not, that is a great time. :wink:
