Active Monkey Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Did my 1st 50 km ride today... Did 51.24 km in 02.58.46 was awesome!!!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Congrats, man! First of many, I hope...
JacoS Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Also did my first 50 (well in 15 years) this week. 90% offroad. Does it still count as a 50 if 17 km was downhill? Or is that just called good planning?
TNT1 Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Um , am I the only one going: "50km in 3 hours? Did you have five punctures and walk the last 10km?"
The Drongo Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Did my 1st 50 km ride today... Did 51.24 km in 02.58.46 was awesome!!! On or off road?
TNT1 Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 On or off road?yeah, and why is this in "Commuting"?
Clinton1 Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Um , am I the only one going: "50km in 3 hours? Did you have five punctures and walk the last 10km?"Â Yes
The Drongo Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 yeah, and why is this in "Commuting"? Ah! THAT I did not notice. But then that is not my job.  Commuting 50km in 3hrs, it was either a very long hill, or his boss is going to fire him for being late.
Active Monkey Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 yeah, and why is this in "Commuting"?ag you are obe o those.... Whatever dude
Active Monkey Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Um , am I the only one going: "50km in 3 hours? Did you have five punctures and walk the last 10km?"Sorry to hear you feel superior for some reason and feel a need to try and belittle newer cyclist. Edited December 16, 2011 by JacquesZA
Active Monkey Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 On or off road?was a mix... Lots of hills and was awesome

Rain Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Regardless of whether you did it in 2 hours or 3 hours - well done for doing it. It's 50km more than what I did today!
bclark Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Sorry to hear you feel superior for some reason and feel a need to try and belittle newer cyclist. Nice one. Just dont stop. It wont get easier. But you will go or be going further ... faster. If I can suggest, try and get in with a group. You will learn to cycle at a faster pace. I found that when I was cycling by my self, you get a comfort pace and dont push / challenge yourself. But other than that, well done.
Mads Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 was a mix... Lots of hills and was awesome   MMMM impressive. My first MTB race was a 25km .... And I finished that in 2h58 (I think) and yes..... I walked a lot.
