[quote][i]Originally posted by Dr Pepper[/i] So after last nights car crash fun I took loads of anti inflammatory and went to bed with an inch of deep heat on my back - felt very lucky this morning when I woke up feeling a bit battered but otherwise fine .... so I manned up and cycled 100 miles today!..... The third time I have completed a century ride but this is the first one that involved any hills - 4300 ft of climbing in total. Average speed was just over 13mph for the trip and moving speed was just over 15mph ... top speed was a rather stupid but very fun 51.1 mph on chain hill, fully loaded bike with a tail wind! Actually don't feel too bad now which is a massive confidence boost - that is the longest ride I have ever done, by far the most climbing in one ride and on the back of a car crash and with a slight head cold too...got to be happy with that. New bar bag seems pretty awesome - just big enough to fill with food, drugs and electrics but doesnt really effect the handling much at all. Weather was a bit shit to start with but turned nicer as the ride went on - was nice to have the sun on my back for a change although the wind was ever present and in my face for the first 50 miles or so which involved most of the climbing. All in all im very happy to have got out today after yesterday and to stick in a 100 miler is a nice feeling. Plan is to go out tomorrow too to get used to back to back long rides but im gonna have to pick up a courtesy car at some point so that might limit me - as could my back which is getting pretty tight again now I have stopped. It really is a stunning place to cycle around her when the sun is out! Heres a few pics of what I am now calling "The Whiplash 100 sportive [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/t31/1960819_10203262206856211_1271063276_o.jpg[/img] [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t31/1073744_10203262220576554_88279295_o.jpg[/img] [img]https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/l/t31/1980434_10203262220616555_1269011535_o.jpg[/img] [img]https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t31/1890422_10203262238176994_1681470140_o.jpg[/img] [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/t1/1891281_10203262235496927_1741022113_n.jpg[/img] [img]https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/t31/1961005_10203262235336923_262819528_o.jpg[/img] [img]https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t31/10014714_10203262240097042_1480318023_o.jpg[/img] [img]https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t31/1617498_10203262240857061_1655333059_o.jpg[/img] [/quote]
