Steph and I did our longest ride yet yesterday (44 for her and 47 for

I feel like a True Cyclist (tm) as we had two
café stops and my hand-tan is coming on a treat.

Thats 75km. You are 3/4 of the way there already

It was quite a bit longer than I've done in one day before, and my
legs are still complaining about it. Total distance of the group ride
was 40 miles, with an extra 7 miles to/from the start point, which
takes us quite a bit nearer to our target 100 km [2].

Get out and ride gently for long enough to warm the legs up. That will help
the aches.

[2] we remain united in our "no we're not going to do the 100 miles
instead" position so ;-P

"me thinketh they protesteth too much ;-)" By the time it gets to the 100km
ride you'll be looking on it as a short amble around the lanes ;-)
