I didn’t manage to get out on Tuesday – the weather at this time of year likes to conspire against me it would appear. Tuesday was chilly fog, which I guess makes a change from ice…
So, today was the first time I’ve been out this week. I went out with one of the girls who I’m less familiar with, but at least the commitment ensured that I did go! I was a bit anxious about it, as she races, and never seems to have any problems with hills, speed, etc… However she may have found my pace, she seemed happy enough to keep me company on the seaside loop for a couple of hours and we had a nice uneventful ride – in milder than expected conditions.

Hubby has managed to fix the broken wire on my computer, so here are today’s stats:

Cycling time: 2:14:09
Distance: 32.774 miles
Avs: 14.7 mph
ODO: 7895.2 miles

In other cycling news, yesterday I got a new sponsor.

Buff are my fourth sponsor – and I’m really chuffed about it :).  It’s giving me hope that eventually I may actually raise the money I need!

Also, due to ferry problems, Route 4 of the London to Paris has changed a bit.  The Portsmouth-Caen crossing has become Portsmouth-St Malo, so the route now looks like this:

Day 1 – London to Portsmouth 80 miles (unchanged)
Catching an overnight ferry to St Malo, (Brittany Ferries) arriving around 08.30 Thursday morning.
Day 2 – St Malo – Mayenne/Laval 82 miles
Day 3 – Mayenne – Chartres 108 miles
Day 4 – Chartres – Paris 73 miles (unchanged)

Total distance has gone from 319 miles to 343 and Day 3 looks like a killer now…*gulp*
