todays ride...................buggered now

[longun]

well today i joined 35 other riders in a charity ride from horncastle to barton, we did the 50 miles via the viking way.organised by local bike shop rusty's, they did a stirling job, food stops etc ......and maps, very very helpful :facepalm: lol.

got 3 punctures, lost 2-3 times and really enjoyed it, weather was shit hot!!!

rek weve raised over 3k for prostate cancer!!!!

ps, the 200gs thumbies worked a treat



wish id rode the pace but 50 miles on a very stiff frame with 40mm of travel.....no way lol

I did 44 miles on my 1988 Rockhopper.

Rigid.

I'm now quite ill.

I have a feint buzzing in my head and I can't feel my legs.

Well done, Longun, sounds like a good ride despite all the probs :? and great to have raised so much for a really good cause.
Wish we'd have known, we'd have come to wave you off before we set off from Horncastle over the Wolds.
You're right - the weather was fab.

PS Just 33 miles for us -thought we'd done quite well til we saw what you (and Trebz) had done!!

Do you have the route mapped as I'd love to have a bash at it myself.

 

[longun]

kinda, got a photocopied os map, i thin k some strava'd it etc, will find them and post when i do, some bits around scunny/barton way on were nice, bit field bridleway orientated but still cool, bit like old mint sauce views

 

[Trebz]

Anything will do.....

If it's the Viking Way then just look on a map as it's printed on it

You've done from somewhere south of South Ferriby to the Bridge (where it stops) and probably other parts of it.

Well done for doing raising the £3k !
