It’s not often these days when I have enough spare time to go for a long bike ride because of work and family commitments, but I did have a spare day on Monday.
I started off heading towards a small coastal town, but ended up heading the opposite way initially because the roads are nicer and quieter. It was mostly rolling country side and the wind was non existent, so I was cruising at a good 28 kmhr (17 mph) on the level straights.
It was a good way to clear my head, and it reminded me of all the rides I did all over the countryside when I was a kid.
According to strava it was the longest ride I’ve ever done at 55km (34miles), but more importantly I wasn’t overly tired and my knees still felt good.
(perhaps they get better with age!)

Nice! I hope you find, as I did, cycling is quite good on the knees. There are limits, of course. Fingers crossed 🤞

To borrow you own words, you “reminded me of all the rides I did all over the countryside when I was a kid.” Thanks for the bicycle ride down memory lane. Hmm, maybe it’s time to patch up and reinflate the inner tubes of my Sixties era Hiawatha…
