First of all – Thanks.
The #June100 challenge seems to have got off to good start. Thanks to everyone who’s joined, plus those good good people who promoted the idea around their friends and across the information superhighway. John Girvin, for example, and Carrie. If I’ve missed you, I’m sorry, and thank you too.
One day in, we’ve got 3 leisure rides logged and over 39 leisure miles amassed. There are also over 80 miles of commuting on the spreadsheet already. I’ll blog proper weekly updates here, but if you’d like to join, see yesterday’s blog post and join today. 🙂
Last Night’s Ride
I pedalled out last night for a quick 45 minute 9 miler, interrupted by a 25 minute tea break. I really need to put more milk in next time…
Conditions were a bit murky, but warm and I managed to average just over 12mph. The route took me on offroad paths to Milnrow central, then along Wildhouse Lane to Hollingworth Lake before a lake circuit, cuppa break then down to the canal for the rest of the ride home along the towpath.
The ride was lovely, but I couldn’t fail to notice the smile-per-pedestrian ratio was very low last night. I wonder if it was because I was travelling a bit faster than usual, or because I didn’t have N1S with me? Either way, cheer up, trail walkers of Rochdale! Needless to say, all the cyclists I passed were courteous as always – to me, anyway.
Here’s the route and mileage:
