Second club ride tonight.

RandG

Further to my previous topic last week, tonight I went on a flat ride tonight. Now you may wonder why I'm posting another topic about it, and think so what, fair enough, however, this is only the second time I have ever ridden in a group, and what a difference it is.

For those who ride on their own and are thinking about joining a club ride, may I suggest you do so. Prior to tonight, I have never ridden faster than 15.6 mph average, tonight I logged 18.8 mph average :shock: and although it was far from easy, I never felt I couldn't manage.

I'm sure for most it was an easy run, especially when you find out some on it, are almost three times younger than you

Moral of the story, get out there,and I promise there will be no more run topics

I would be pushing hard to get an 18-19 average over 20miles in flat cambridgshire..

then I go and do my first sportive and get an 18.2mpg average over 90miles/5 hours thanks to a nice fast group (more like peloton!) that I tagged onto.

Welcome to group riding!

Is that 18.2 Miles Per Gallon? You didn't say you were on a motorbike.
