The beautiful wife, who apparently is clearly NOT the soup dragon (even though she is the one who feeds us and on whom we all rely on) is out on a shopping trip, the kids are out, the sun is out, so I got on my bike and did the same. Nice 21 mile round around Upchurch, Hartlip etc, average speed just over 15 mph, and bringing this months total to 168 miles. A good end to a good week of work. Need to keep on, because this week is my last chance to hit my target, 32 miles by Thursday effectively.
I reached my 30 mph target the other day as well - well not exactly, down oak hill free wheeling and scared stiff! Watching the two tours currently taking place, it's amazing to watch the loonatic speed these professionals do. Still I can ride a bike, can they do what I do.
I've clearly now got it in me to do 20 miles on a fairly regular basis, in fact if I do less than 15 miles I am feeling guilty. I now need a plan to step up to regular longer distance rides at the weekend.
