MFWHTBAB just did his first ever 50 mile ride. He's disgustingly lively.
I did it with him, I'm shattered!
When we got back it was 51.94 miles and I wanted to go around the block to make it 52 miles.
Arch said No!
I felt good enough to have said yes to a ride down to Pluto and back, with dinner at Naburn, if it was suggested.
In the meantime, no aches, pains or chaffing, and I rode it all wearing jeans, tee shirt, and steel toe boots.
I feel like a proper cyclist now.
I couldn't have done it without Arch, she had the map.
Seriously though, Arch was very encouraging and kept the pace so that I didn't over do it and burn out.
Only downsides was hayfever and headwinds.
