60 Miler
« on: 22 April, 2008, 12:41:22 am »
My Tuesday nights usually comprise a 16 mile ride to my rugby club, an hour in the gym, a few pints of Guinness with my mate, Jim, and then a 16 mile ride/wobble home.

Tomorrow, however, my training partner's injured, Jim's in hospital having his heart re-started and I fancy doing something diferent, .  I've done 65 miles in a day before and I've done a non-stop 40 odd miles but I want to do the Dun Run this year and I need to up my mileage. So I'm going to try and do a non-stop 60 mile ride. Wish me luck!!
I'm gonna limp to the pub and drink 'til the rest of me is as numb as my arse.

I wish you luck mate, tomorrow it's going to be nice and I shall probably do about 50-60 miles.  I'm an old man (or as one of my grandsons put it - you're half a grown-up and half an old man) and not particularly light or fit.  But keep to plodding speed and you will go for miles.   :thumbsup:

Didn't you say you were in Blackmore, Psychler?

I'm in sanny Sarfend, so depending on the direction you want to go in, there's the possibility of a rendez-vous. I fancy a few miles myself.

I hope Jim is soon on the mend.

I'm leaving at about 4-ish and I'll head out towards Sarfend.  Wowbagger, I'll pm you with my mobile number, if you want to meet up give me a call and I'll see what if we can arrange something

I've just got back from 32 miles at an average speed approaching 19mph  :thumbsup:

So I'm a bit knackered, otherwise I'd join you.
This isn't just a thousand to one shot. This is a professional blood sport. It can happen to you. And it can happen again.

Didn't quite make the 60, just over 50 due to my poor navigation, great ride though, wonderful weather.

Nice to talk to you, Peter!!
