Ride 11/06/2023 Coast to Coast day 1

This will probably go down as one of the easiest 75 miles rides I’ve every done It was pretty much pan flat barely 1800 feet over 75 miles and I was even going at a very easy pace, what little wind there was, was pushing us along. Anyhow, so this ride came about because the guys I did the LEJOG with wanted to do a commemorative ride to one of the guys we rode with on the LEJOG. We have David Sancto​ to thank for organizing this one in memory of Roger Armstrong, and it’s nice to be riding with quarter of the group that I did the LEJOG with Today was the first of 7 with us riding 75 miles from Lowerstoft to Newmarket on a blazingly hot sunny day with temps getting over 30 degrees The ride was split into thirds of 25 miles with a quick break at 25, then a lunch break at 50 and other quick break at 62 for water, before riding the last 13 odd miles to the hotel in Newmarket. As rides go this was a great one, rarely do I ever get to ride such a flat ride and even though I was going very easy we still managed to clock 16 mph avg speed for the 75 miles. So tomorrows ride will be 66 miles, again over flat land with a little bit more elevation in it than today, and let’s hope the weather keeps as is
