Have notched up just over 27 miles this weekend. Not much to others but an absolutely HUGE achievement for me.
Saturday was a cycle to and from football at Dagenham & Redbridge around 12.9 miles. They have some great bicycle parking now (covered by 24 hr CCTV) installed at my suggestion. (Pic below)
Then off to High Beech today. This was tough because I don't think I've gone out on two consecutive days like this. Strava says 15.5 miles but I'm only really claiming 15 because once you turn off the A104 I struggle and walk most of the way to the tea hut! I really tried to cycle that bit today but I honestly had nothing left to give. Thankfully tea and cake restored me enough to cycle home.
Am so chuffed with myself overall. To be this fit by the end of March is a bleeding miracle. My aim is 2-3 rides a week of a similar sort of length before trying something longer by the end of April. This will be a real test because I suspect my painkilling medication is wearing off and I don't get topped up until June.
PS this was all done fixed. Still haven't gone clipless though.
