My First Century

It's been a great week on the bikecthis week, all topped off with my first century ride yesterday.

Following last weeks effort in the club time trial I found my commutes this week a little easier. I think knowing what I can manage in a sustained effort allowed me to push a little harder. So I have now completed my first commute to the office in under an hour!!

My first century ride - Yesterday I joined 3 fellow wheelers for a ride down to Brighton. The weather started with a spot of rain and then brightened up to good day where I even caught a bit of colour. We took the same route I rode in March and made it down to the coast in little under 4 hrs, including a successful ascent of the Beacon.

As Before we headed to the Regency Cafe opposite the abandoned pier for much needed fish and chips.

The return leg was competed by 3 of us and was a much flatter and smoother route.

It was a greet day and a good hard ride, in total riding 115 miles.
