And my legs absolutely Cain

me and 2 mates went to sherwood forest yesterday for a national heart foundation bike ride.. We actually rode just over 40miles as we got lost at start lol... On a personal level I'm so happy as really didn't think I could or would do it!

Longest I've road is 15miles so was a struggle! Nearly felt like giving up towards the last 10miles...

Great day out and the weather was superb.. Would recommend it to anyone.

Few beers the night before wasn't a great idea but the pint afterwood tasted so great

bring on the London to Brighton.. Should be a doddle in comparison.. He says

 

What time are you starting London to Brighton?

Maybe meet up for a beer in Brighton when you're done?

 

Why who had been giving you wood, Westy?

Well done BTW

 

Lee - tool me a while to work that out Its the iPhones text thing!


Rich - not sure on start time as a mate sorted it all out but I shall find out and let you know. Would be nice to meet for a well deserved pint afterwards. Got a friend down in Brighton so I think we will be staying all evening for a few

Thanks lads... Felt like crying near the end which was a bit gay

 

Well done mate

Considering how much training I do for my boxing and how long I can last in the ring, I've just come back home after doing a 10 miles bike ride and I'm fooked
Mind you, I did go down the cuts where the surface is faaaar from smooth

 

thanks AJ.

Its surprising how much it takes it out of you, especially those long slight radient up hills.. they are killers

The place, Sherwood Forest is absolutely superb for mountain bikes. Loads of bike trails with signage etc.. Wil definately be going back but not to do 36 miles

 

What bike are you using mate?

 

nothing flash...

Its a GT Avalanche 1.0 2009. Got it at the start of the month....

here is a link

to be honest I hant ridden a bike for several yeas up until start of the month where we did 15miles Yesterday was a shock to say the least...

 

Well done mate.

Lovely part of the country you did it in. My old dear lives just up the A1 and goes up there a fair bit.

 

I fookin bet it was

 

true John.. not really een to those parts before as we live 2hrs away.. but we noticed a campsite near by, so we plan to go back one weekend in the summer.. have a day out on the bikes, with a few tins and BBQ saturday night, then go back Sunday.

Really scenic... lovely area

 

Clumber park is really good in the summer for BBQ's, you will have passed it on the way, as you come of the A1 and head upto sherwood forests visitor centre.

Loads of fanny to be seen.

 

Perfect.. thanks for the heads up

 

They have a massive retro 60's, 70's and 80's concert up there once a year rammed with pissed up birds

Link to the place, can't find the concert details but you may have better look.

thanks.

 

preferred start time is 7.30am Rich. Just found out

 

Good work

We did 26 mile after 2 month off due to the weather, proper killed me

Starting my training now for a killer through Jordan in Oct/November

 

Jordan.... Whats that all about then? Is it off road..

Best of luck!

 

 

i think its mainly on road, with some off road, average 60-80km a day in 25-30 degree heat, looks an amazing ride looking at the itinery, get to see where Indiana Jones was filmed and a day sight-seeing in Petra, just what you need to recover from a numb arse

 

well done mate

 

Well done

Iam doing the London to Brighton off road ride for the BHF in September.
