First Metric Century!
I completed my first metric century bike ride in Delaware yesterday.
All total, I rode 69 miles in 5 hours 45 minutes. Rolling speed was slightly over 12 MPH. I'm very tired! :-) Neil 385/245/220 |

This weekend, I took part in a group ride rehearsing the Dunwich Dynamo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunwich_Dynamo) which is to be held at the end of July. The weather on Saturday night was dreadful - heavy rain, strong winds - yuk! I rode to the station and got the train to London, and then rode home from Dunwich afterwards - a round trip including the London/Dunwich ride itself of 320km. I too was tired, more so from the missed night's sleep than anything. The great thing about the Dunwich Run is it ends, first thing in the morning, at a Cafe on the beach - where you can get a HUGE (and given the ride you've just done, completely GUILT FREE) fry-up breakfast. You can then have a nice leisurely swim in the North Sea (temperature this time of year, 11c!!) before riding home If you're at all like me - you're going to find long distance cycling really really addictive... -- Chris |

It was beautiful, and just the right temp. I was pretty shot afterwards. I didn't think a 2500' elevation sounded like all that much... But I was wrong! I was wasted the rest of the weekend. |
