Went out yesterday even though riding with a horrible cold is not necessarily advisable.  G  was in much the same state, so I think we egged each other on!  It would have been a shame to waste the lovely weather, and I figured I’d just do a shortish run, just to keep my legs in.  We met S in Cheddar and headed out towards Draycott on the back roads.  We met a fellow cyclist and stopped to chat for a bit, and got split up for a while, so actually only ended up meeting S again just before coming into Wedmore.  G and S fancied doing hills – no fear! – so I decided to be sensible (as if I ever thought hills were a good idea *grin*) and pootled off on my own.

I spent a happy hour on the levels in the sunshine and wasn’t too knackered when I got home, which was what I’d hoped for.  Unlike G who texted me from “up there” somewhere to say that she wished she’d done it my way as the hills had proved the final straw.

Cycling time: 1:41:50
Distance: 24.501 miles
Avs: 14.4 mph
ODO: 9131.0 miles

As you can see from the stats, I was a bit slower than usual – I find that happens when you can’t breathe properly!  I’m glad I got out though.  My legs were feeling good – the spirit was willing…but the rest of me was weak 🙂   I did an extra hour cycling in the gym later to top up, which was hard work – but is apparently good training for the L2P.
