Went out on a first proper road ride this evening. For those who know the area, Plymouth->Yelverton->Tavistock->Princetown->Yelverton->Plymouth was the route I did.

You can see all the numbers and route map on Strava here: http://app.strava.com/activities/57539576

How'd you all think I did? I'm curious as to what others think as I really don't know if I put in a good time for that sort of distance/climbing or not. All I know is I hurt now.

Unless you intend on racing, that is all you need to know.

And that's not bad at all from a roadie perspective.

Tenth on one climb. That's great for your first big ride.

For a first road ride i'd say that was epic - Hats off to you. I did my first road ride on friday. Managed 25 miles in 1:45 and finished with a ruined lower back and sore legs. Can't wait for exams to be finished so I can get out and improve!

finished with a ruined lower back

Bars too low ❗

It's decent.

Ruined lower back is probably due to your saddle being too high.
