actaylor just finished a 151.07km ride, that lasted for 467 minutes.
This ride helped actaylor burn 2288.3 calories.
Description from Strava: Possibly the most beautiful ride yet. The Scottish Borders - East through Stow, Galashiels, Clovenfords and Innerleithen… stopped often to take in the view and soak up the sun. That elevation gain nearly did me in though. This bike really has to be the best gift I’ve ever received. 🌷🌞

Well, I gotta say... 150km is a pretty reasonable distance there! ;-)
Looks like you've had a great day out (and I'm sure the beautiful weather we are having right now helps!)
Aha! The weather absolutely helps @dannewton 🌸 Is it this good down south, too? It took the day to cover that distance, but it was absolutely worth it!! ⛰️
Yep... last week has had showers, but slowly getting warmer...this weekend has been flippin' glorious with highs of 21C
It is a seriously impressive distance @actaylor, I think you've previously mentioned a Half Marathon as a goal at some point, you've easily got the endurance/fitness to manage one of those!
Thanks @dannewton ☺️🧡 Aha!! I find cycling a lot easier than running actually. But interesting that you mention endurance. That’s the key to these long distance sports, isn’t it. Would like to master it. Half-marathon this weekend coming! (Wish me luck! 🍀) Any runs on the horizon for you?
And that temperature is glorious! This weather is amazing. Promises to be a good summer. 🌞
Hell, after 150km ride, I reckon you well on the path to mastering it!... it is physical endurance sure, but mental strength plays a huge part too, and becomes so much more important when the distance/time increases.
Wishing you luck for the Race on Sunday, I'm sure you're totally gonna smash it :-)
top tip - try to keep a slower pace to begin with for the first mile or so, its so, so easy to get carried away with the crowds (been there, done that lol). Starting slow means you can enjoy the finish as well haha
I don't have any races lined up at the minute, really need to work on that, its useful to have a goal to aim for (plus taking part in events is good fun too!)
You’re totally right - mental strength plays a huge part on it, too! 💫 Thanks for the well-wishes @dannewton - and the tip!! Very useful. I always start off a little too strong, judging by my Strava stats haha. But I’ll try and keep a clear head in the race. I’m looking forward to it. Well, joining a race makes a nice goal, and it’s fun. As an aside, I find keeping track of your runs quite motivating actually haha!
