We were on road most of the way but last 2 miles were off road as we cut across the fields on a bridle path. I use a phone app called Map my Ride. It measures distance, speed, time and calories. It also links to My Fitness Pal if you're trying to lose weight.
Today my calf muscles are tight so rather than cycling we'll go for a good walk to loosen them up. I measure that using the Map my Walk app.
Well done vampirequeen 10 miles is some going, its great when you spur people on, that's all we need sometimes just a little persuasion. Presume you were on the road(not off road) how do you keep track of the miles, I have a computer thingy that goes on wheel but seems complicated.
Well done - I used to cycle everywhere especially in Holland. My DD commutes across London for work and it takes 2 hours. Apparently it would only take her 2 hours to cycle!!
I have a 24 gear mountain bike with a big bum gel saddle . DH has ordered a granny gear for me so hills should be easier when he fits it. He wants me to change to an aluminium frame bike because mine is quite heavy but I like my bike so I'm not sure if I want to change it.
Oh well done Vampirequeen. I am thinking of getting a bike but I have not cycled since high school days. DH thinks I would be better with an electric bike as I am 78 years old....no health issues (hope!). The Pendleton in midnight blue looks nice Anyway Vamp you have inspired me !
Well done, you did better that me as I did 12 miles but just had to walk up a long, long hill. Mr Barmey went on in front and then came back looking for me. Told him I was just enjoying the scenery. Must admit my leg muscle feel a bit today I think because I have overdone it on the cycling. I have been out most days.
Yes I've got another chufty on. Today, for the first time ever, I cycled 10 miles and I didn't have to get off and walk up any hills. I managed all of them. Even one I thought I wouldn't be able to do.
