Today i am very happy, for the first time since i bought a road bike i have done a reasonable length route (65miles) solo and averaged 18mph

for some reason i have got it into my head that this is an important milestone and i am now a 'proper' roady 🙂 I have no idea why this arbitary destinction is important but it makes me happy. I think 18 avg does get banded about despite being so dependant on weather/ route/ distance etc.

now im going to fail to make a point and go and eat curry........

have a good eve!

Meh. I did 55 miles at a 13mph average. I'm not a proper roadie.

6000ft of climbing though and some savage hills...

yes looking at map the other day i thought 10 1in6's by shortest (road or trail) route with rule being had to be distinct hills - got it mapped and will award myself at least one beer

edit and 18mph average deserves a curry - arbitary yes but any challenge is better than the sofa
for me 18mph average would be several curries!
