Stuck in again all day on conference calls but I’m going for it during the breaks The bike miles is way off. I hammered the 11 miles today in an hour on my mountain bike mostly on the road. I like to do Fleetwood down to Lytham and back up on Gonzo’s coast which is about 30 miles. That’s a good 3 hours (although it does include a chippy stop). 10-15 is more realistic as folk may not have that amount of time Edited March 25, 2020 by MancWanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got it back from local shop after an extensive service. Wasn't sure what a genuine target was - but often see people posting screenshots of 40 mile bike rides. Ok, we'll aim for 15 miles each.

Burndens Bogs Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Does anyone know the reasoning behind limiting exercise to just once a day? Seems a bit barmy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Permitted outdoor once a day for exercise. You can exercise as much as you want in your own dwelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it’s once a day or one form a day, there is no restriction on the time you spend. in extremis, you could walk for 24 hours and be within the rules. I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 21 miles & it's nearly all on cycle tracks without too many gradients. You can join it anywhere along the route and there's some smashing stretches along the Ribble. I did it last Saturday with my daughter, who hadn't cycled for 10 years but she loved it. Again, this Saturday with my other daughter.

Escobarp Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 50 flights done and just had a blazing row at the end of the last one as The missus complaining I’m distracting her. Told her to to go and sit in an office at her mums then if she’s a problem and fuck off. Inspired me to carry on now to completion though if possible just to piss her off yes I know I’ve got anger issues dont @ me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I was pacing the house like a caged tiger for much of yesterday...Tried the stair challenge today but got bored after twenty or so, so back to pacing but this time changing it up a bit. Banged on 'Clubland TV' on top volume and improvised the following 'pace with a purpose' routine. Connisseurs may guess which music accompanies each phase (top corner is the telly 😉)... 😘 🎩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
