Time is fast approaching, been going to my cycling club every Sunday and doing in the region of 50-55 miles per time, which takes on average 3-4 hours.

In between been going to the gym and doing a general work out – cardio, strength and classes.

Also been attending Badminton Club every Thurs and play for 2 hours which averages around 4-5 games depending on the number of people who turn up.

The weekend just gone (Sat 28, Sun 29) I went cycling both days:

Sat – Off Road – along the River Thames total 30 miles.

Sun – On Road – 55 miles, around Maidenhead, Marlow, Twyford some other areas around Berkshire which I never knew existed.

Fantastic weather, but a very sore backside.

Overall am happy with my fitness, it just depends on the soreness of my backside and power in my legs.  Should be purchasing additional cycling clothing for the event it self and need to order some energy bars/gels to keep my energy topped up.
