It’s been a long final weekend of training. On Friday we had a dress rehearsal ride to Alnwick and back which involved a brief encounter with an electric fence, getting used to (falling off) my new clip pedals and riding in rush hour dusk. The distance covered was roughly the same as London to Newhaven:
Then yesterday was the last ride pre-challenge with Gosforth Cycling Club. Another 50 miles around Northumberland and another battering from a North East headwind but, crucially, all of us completed it.
All in all, 140 miles over 2 days.
Next weekend? 250 miles in 3 days. I’m hoping to update the blog en route, click ‘follow’ to get updates on our progress. Or if you’d like to show your support and make a donation:
