Building up the rides after a really, really bad spell.

Out today and 43.5 miles in 2hr 30 mins was good for me. Not a fast ride, averaging 15mph and a nice 10 minute climb thrown in for good measure.

Happy bloke at the mo. Now for the sunburn.

    Have you got that right - 43.5m in 2.30 gives you 17.4 avge - not 15...??

    Geordies and maths just don't mix :D

    Being a Smoggie makes it alright for me to point that out :lol:

    Well done on getting back out there and enjoying it.

    43.5m in 2 hours 30 min would give an average of 0.01mph.

    'm' is not an abbreviation for miles.

    Cheers

    I just stopped being a nancy boy and got on with it :D

    Nah seriously, I just need to push myself or I'm my worst enemy. Plus I knew there'd be tons of fit lasses out riding and I was right.
