It may have been a Bank Holiday, after a long enjoyable weekend, but that’s no excuse for not getting the miles in so, at about 10:30am, I headed out again.  To be fair, it was no great hardship as the sun was shining and the mob were happy at home with hubby.  I did one of my usual training loops – not being in the mood for innovation.

There was a little more wind than I’d been expecting (isn’t there always?!) but since it was a Southerly, at least it wasn’t a cold wind, and although it was a bit of a slog across the levels at times, it was at least behind me for the last part of the loop.

Cycling time: 2:14:30
Distance: 35.077 miles
Avs: 15.7 mph
ODO: 9389.1 miles

It felt like hard work at times, but looking at the average speed, I guess I was probably pushing it a bit harder than usual.  It certainly took a good 15 minutes less than I’d been expecting!  My legs were feeling it though, and are a bit achey if you pay attention – I get the feeling they could use a good stretch, so will bear that in mind for the next gym session.

In other news the bike I’ve decided I want has gone up £120 while I wasn’t looking, which is a bit of a disaster…I really need to get on and do something about purchasing whatever it is I’m going to get…but it all boils down to the sizing which I still don’t have figured out yet…*grrr*.

And if you like number crunching, since this blog started in October 2008, I’ve now done over 2000m cycling – I love big numbers like that 🙂  If you look at the website stats, around 300 people pop in here a month (not including robots etc).  I have no idea who most of them are, and I’m sure some of them didn’t mean to end up here, but if you did –  if that’s you – say hi?  Introduce yourself?  Pull up a chair and make yourself at home 🙂
