3 weeks down...

Sunday 20 Jan 2008

Tim is on his way to Japan so I'll be riding on my own today, but it's great to have another chance to ride in the daylight!

Ready Brek for breakfast, 9am mass with Clare and the kids, back home for 10am, a couple of slices of toast and some water, get changed and off out about 11am. I really need to work out the best way of warming up before I go out...

I've extended my longest loop so far to take in Great Dunmow and The Rodings. I've also decided to do the loop the other way round! It's interesting doing it backwards, different challenges, different hills, different wind directions - that said, regardless of which way I do it, the last few miles are up hill!

The ride was good, and I felt much better than on Friday night - I think being less tired, and having more food inside me helped a lot! 37 and a half miles in just over 2 and a half hours, and home in time for Sunday lunch - lovely! Chilled out for the rest of the day, and now looking forward to my first evening with my wife for a whole week!

Looking forward to more miles next week and turbo training on Wednesday...

37.5 miles; 2hr 32mins; Avg HR n/r; Max HR n/r

Total miles for the week: 86.5
