Busy week on the bike:

Sat 31 May – Due to other commitments only did 15 miles – around Windsor, Dorny Lake, Eton and back home.  total time 1hr.

Sun 1 June – Went to a different cycling club “Thames Velo” turned up on time but a little disappointed as only one person turned up so we went for a cycle anyway.  This is a proper racing team and I had difficulties keeping up with the pace.  In total did 55miles, in 3h15.  with an average speed of 16.1mph, max 28.5mph.

Got home and was physically drained and dehydrated.

This was the first time I did back to back cycling, good thing didn’t do 50 miles on Saturday as probably wouldnt of been able to cycle on the Sunday.  Nevertheless am getting into shape and happy.  As I still believe the event it self will be at a slower pace then what I am doing in my training with a lot more stops.

Am getting used to the Road Bike as my neck/shoulders don’t hurt as much now, so its just about getting saddle time and enjoying the ride..
