Ok so its not as cool as some folks but I am proud of myself this weekend. I have managed two rides and covered 22 miles in total.
Today I rode to Norbreck Castle in Bispham and back home via the Marine Hall in Fleetwood.
This was 12 miles in total. Not even the furthest I have ridden in one day, but it was such a lovely day and although breezy, which slowed me down a bit it was a great ride.
I found after 2 miles that I had to walk up the ramp to the sea front at Rossall, which was a little unusual because normally I can do this no problem. Maybe yesterdays ride took a little more out of me than I thought. Having said that , it was into the wind most of the way.
The ride back was OK apart from knocking the computer off its mount twice as I set off – due to the big gut!! The first time I realised it was missing I had ridden a tenth of a mile before I realised and then went back for it. It was laying on the floor at Cleveleys. Oh hum.
I stopped off at an ice cream van and bought a 99. Sitting in the sun, having made 7 miles on my own power, eating ice-cream felt good.
There were a fair number of pedestrians and cyclists on the prom today which killed the speed. The Marine hall was incredibly busy due to a dance competition, including one troupe practicing on the prom itself, blocking it off!!
The final leg from the Marine hall was a little painful as the muscles just above my knees were aching. Other than that it was a great ride out.
