I think age might be creeping up on me. 8-hour daily rides are becoming a thing of the past.
I'm doing, on average, 5-6 hours these days and feel exhausted at the end of the ride and absolutely knackered next day - aches and pains unreleaved by stretching are only curable now as long as the neurofen works...
When that stops, I guess there'll be a nice Orange5 for sale and I'll take up walking just to get out there.
😥
8 hours riding a day? No wonder you are knackered. 😉
Get a job you layabout scrounger.
Sorry - I don't mean I'm riding 8 hours every day! Badly put. I mean when I used to go out on one, it was a day ride of 8 hours...
Oops.
😳
You'll have to get out with all the old boys on the road - who seem to be able to ride all day with nothing more than a 1/4 oz of shag & a pocketful of Werthers Originals
Dont think I've ever managed an 8 hour ride and Im 'only' 27! I ache after 3 or 4 hours. 😳
Call yourself a mountain biker? if you're out for 8 hours, 4 of that is meant to be taken up by talking shit, eating and faffing about?
don't forget taking photo's, and 'sessioning' things.
my rides last about 2 hours, at least 1hr30mins of that isn't actually on the bike.
Ha, I have to train to stay as slow as I was the year before
