i have been aming to get too 15mph over 30 miles for maybe 2 months, not especially trained to do it but set tomorrow as a deadline. set out today not really aiming for it but ended up doing i admit a flat route in 15.1mph so really chuffed. i was going to start something a little more structured training wise next week (well include a good hill session once a week, been a big lad i need it!). so nothing really to say just wanted to share!

    Don't worry big boy, that weight will soon come down! Well done and keep at it :)

    thank you, i can tell i have burnt some fat off but think i have replaced that with leg muscle! i have no real aims to lose lots of weight i accept i am bigger and just need to get up the climbs, hopefully i can develop into a more power rider....so i convince myself.
    think i may do a charity ride in richmond north yorkshire in a couple of months, looks very hill for me!
