Last weekend I took part in the Pendle Pedal - a 100km timed ride in the Lancashire countryside. It was a fantastic day, the weather was good and there were constant big hills to deal with to make it very challenging. It was hard work and really found my limits on some of the long steep climbs, but it was still fun and I'll definately do it next year. I'm sure I can beat my rather poor time

Anyway, there was a lovely sweeping downhill where I managed 44MPH. I'm sure it can be beat by someone here.



Btw, anyone planning on cycling up and down hills for 5 hours needs to know that it will destroy a set of brake pads in one ride!
