Namaste HIVE!
That's right! I completed my 100 km ride 🚴♂️🔥💪😎
105.8 kms to be exact!
This is my second 100 km ride.
First one was hell for me! Here is why:
As a result, I got cramps along the way. There was a point where I literally had to stop for 15-20 minutes because I couldn't move at all with all the cramps!
I really struggled to finish the second half.
So this time I was prepared.
I did the ride with four 7th graders (whom I teach music) and a friend.
Here is a small video I put together with the GoPro I had on my helmet!
I used a Gramin ForeRunner 245 to track my ride.
It has been my trusty companion for quite a few years now.
I have connect it to my Strava account.
Strava said I hit a total of 38 achievements with a personal record on 17 segments!!! 😎
Here are some stats from the ride:
Also, did I forget to mention that I have an MTB! I got the Giant Revel 3 considering I am in India and the roads are filled with potholes most of the time!
And it does help on the Indian roads. But an MTB is tough to ride long distances.
So I am doubly proud of myself (pats himself on the back).
I soon plan to upgrade to a road bike or at-least a hybrid. (Please upvote generously so I can fulfil this dream 😄🙏🏼)
This was an absolutely fantastic experience and now I plan to do a 100km at least once every 2 months!
Hope I can keep the momentum going 🤞
Let me know in the comments if you are into any sports or have done any long distance rides 🚴♂️
