Monday 15th March *Road*

Flippin heck, that streched the legs, I write this the day after and the legs and lower back still ache, 64 miles at a good pace was hard work, my longest ride yet and my first over the 100K mark.

I was joined by Mike W of Beeston CC for the ride who kept me at a good pace and provided good cover as we took turns to lead into the stiff westerly breeze on the outbound journey. I particularly enjoyed the long downward road from Rangemore to Barton, clocking 40mph and keeping above 30 for over a mile. The ride home was brisk with afore mentioned breeze pushing us home. Thoroughly enjoyed the ride, it was a real step towards 2010's first goal for me, a 110k Audax next month.
