Ride 11\/06\/2023 Coast to Coast day 1<\/a><\/em> <\/p> \n

This will probably go down as one of the easiest 75 miles rides I’ve every done <\/span> It was pretty much pan flat barely 1800 feet over 75 miles and I was even going at a very easy pace, what little wind there was, was pushing us along. Anyhow, so this ride came about because the guys I did the LEJOG with wanted to do a commemorative ride to one of the guys we rode with on the LEJOG. We have David Sancto\u200b to thank for organizing this one in memory of Roger Armstrong, and it’s nice to be riding with quarter of the group that I did the LEJOG with <\/span> Today was the first of 7 with us riding 75 miles from Lowerstoft to Newmarket on a blazingly hot sunny day with temps getting over 30 degrees <\/span> The ride was split into thirds of 25 miles with a quick break at 25, then a lunch break at 50 and other quick break at 62 for water, before riding the last 13 odd miles to the hotel in Newmarket. As rides go this was a great one, rarely do I ever get to ride such a flat ride and even though I was going very easy we still managed to clock 16 mph avg speed for the 75 miles. So tomorrows ride will be 66 miles, again over flat land with a little bit more elevation in it than today, and let’s hope the weather keeps as is <\/span> <\/p> \n\n\t\t
