It's great though. Don't have my results sheets any more, knew I doubled my scores in quite a few of the things though.

New bike came last week, absolutely loving it so far. Just need to get my fitness/endurance back now.

Awesome! I met a couple out cycling yesterday, and I got chatting away to them. Anyways, long story short, they're from Yorkshire. They both so happened to walk into my pub today and they recognized me straight away. I mentioned to the guy that I was thinking of heading over for the start of the tour. He ended up giving me his email + number and told me to get in contact with him if I decide to head over. They have spare bikes and and I'm pretty much guaranteed a place to stay with them.

I'll mention it to my boss and see if I could get 3 or 4 days off work My birthday is on 4th July so would be a awesome way to celebrate it

Did my second fitness test last week and the results were pretty impressive. I've tried to stay with the rigorous schedule but of course I am bound to miss the odd day.

Why do cyclists of the spandex-wearing variety insist on cycling on the road even when there is a perfectly good, paved bike path right next to it?

Nearly ran over a clown the other evening who was out on the road with a bike that had no lights and no reflexes with the bike path literally a yard to the side of him. I swear people like that have a death-wish.

Sometimes bike paths aren't the safest/best place to be, alot of the ones round me are really poorly surfaced, full of pot holes and drains. Just because its there doesn't mean the cyclist has to use it.

I quite like bike riding but not in the roads, in the countryside or places like center parcs is lovely, quite relaxing as well.

This. And a lot of them have little stones and cobbles. Death traps for punctures.

Another ride today, was bloody hot out but pretty happy with how i was going set about 15 PB's as well which i wasn't expecting. Nearly had my first crash though, entirely my own fault, going into a corner to fast and nearly had a head on with a car, managed to pull the rear brake and the back end slid out but managed to keep upright

Back to jogging fairly regularly. Doing 6.5miles.

How many days would be a good amount to leave between runs?

Really depends on your fitness level.

How sore do you be after running?

A day?

It honestly depends how your body feels, running is a bit dissimilar to say weight training where you need to rest to allow micro tears to repair and muscles to grow, if you feel fit and your body can handle it run every day. If you don't feel recovered after a day then take two. Just learn to listen to what your body is telling you.

I was going to go. Met a couple out cycling and they so happened to come into my pub the day after and said if I were going over that I could stay with them..... But I decided against it in the end

Did another 30 odd miles today, would have done more but i woke up late Went out in the sun and it almost immediately started pissing it down
Deleted Account #151676
The misses brought a cross trainer which has a seat to enable you to use it like an exercise bike. we've both decided to do 1000 miles by her birthday at the end of August, we both need to do 16 miles a day in order to achieve that goal. Did it fairly easily last night whilst watching Metallica's set at Glastonbury. We'll see how long my motivation continues for though!

You're clocking up great mileage on the new bike, good man!!

Went out for a mountain walk with my dog on Friday , wanted to do some form of training other than the bike. Ended up doing a 10km loop which took about two hours and 20 minutes. Work Saturday night and during Sunday especially was torture! My legs were killing me , and they're still sore today but not as bad!
