Training Blog

This is my training blog that details how I am getting on training for a cycle ride from my home in the West Midlands to Brixham, South Devon which is scheduled in June 2009. I am doing this to raise money for Rowcroft Hospice who cared for my mother who passed away in April 2008 due to Motor Neurone Disease.

Enjoy the read....I had not been on a bike since I was a teenager and this is a whole new world to me, however I am determined to succeed, for my Mum and for the personal challenge.

June 29 - Small Ride

well I was going to have 2 days rest however for some unknown reason even though my legs ache alot today I was desperate to go out. I knew my legs needed some recovery but it is a weird thing, once you start cycling you want to go out and cycle all the time. I had quite a busy day today but about 7:15pm I thought I need to get out even if just for 20 mins. So I set off and did 2.5 miles, nothing really, but it was good to stretch my legs and I wanted to test the new seat height. I have not noticed too much difference so It may need to go a bit higher.

Here is my route, not very exciting but I did not expect that I would want to get on the bike again for a few days but I did. I am even considering cycling into work tomorrow (Monday), realistically though I think it will be Tuesday and Thursday.

But Nathan the route shows 7.5 miles...not 2.5?
