This month is off to a flying start. Just done my first 50+ mile cycle of the year, which also happens to make it the longest one to.
The section of the route that is marked in blue, is roads I have never cycled on before.
I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph and route statistics.

Nice one G!!! Was such a lovely day for cycling, so I managed to get out too! Again, I managed to cover lots of new roads and even broke a couple of my own records…
A great start to the month for both of us!
What can I say? It’s incredible. If you carry on like this you’ll reach last year’s target by the end of July! Well done G!
holy frack!!!!! damn your like the most active guy i know! fittest too 😉
50 miles may sound good, but BlondGuppy ended up doing 70 miles today. So does not make my 50 sound so good after all :(.
how often do you stop for a break?
Goes by how often I need to have loo break, take photos etc.
wait so you dont stop to get your breathe back? is there lots of hills?
Just have a drink and keep going!
Aww, I’m sorry G.
As for stopping… try not to for the initial 25 miles, unless I have to stop at junctions and suchlike. I just know when I need to stop for a rest.
Stats for my ride are:
72.92 miles, 05h54m47s ride time, average speed, 12.3mph, max speed 43mph, elevation gain 819m, fastest 5 mile ‘lap’ 18m45s, and 4491 calories.
Well happy with that. I have a feeling Gordon will be able to get one back on me soon! 😉
how often do you stop for a rest?
Like G says… I only really stop if I need to. I know when to have a rest. I have a ‘camelbak’ water carrier on my back, which holds three litres of water, or orange squash, plus I take some choccy bars or oat bars with me for the energy to keep me going. If I really do feel the need, I’ll stop at a shop and have something else!
I had a 20 minute rest today at about 33 miles, and another 30 minute rest at about 60 miles. But sometimes I can go until 40 miles without feeling the need to stop!
