In the end I had cycled 60km
All this summer and before winter came I have been thinking about and planning or hoping to take one day and go on a long ride around the city on my bike. At least once a week or every other week I would easily do a 25 km ride so I was think I should be well able to do a 50km ride. As the the weather is now cooling down the decision was made to make this ride last Saturday. so with my route planned, food and water in a backpack, I set off. It was a really nice and i was enjoying the sunshine and the city, making my way to the Moscow river and then following it to the final park before heading in the direction of home. By now my legs were getting tired but I was still enjoying my time, till about 5 Km from home, going down hill as a fair speed while hopping up over a cerb I lost control and came crashing down. After getting myself untangled from the bike and the bike straightened out again, with a sore hand, sore and cramping legs and a bloody arm I hobbled home the last 5km. Three days late, my arm is healing and my hand and leg no longer hurt so much. So all going well I should be out on my bike again in a day or two.
I have a few other photos I was hoping to add here, but they are on my phone and I can't get them off it right now, so as soon as I do i will add some more here.
