Did a London-Brighton-London training ride today in readiness for the Wye Wednesday. On fixed of course with my usual 4kg of crap in the pannier; half of which I didn't need. A heavy D-lock that never got used and a whole box of muesli bars which didn't get eaten.
I was feeling so relaxed that I had this crazy idea of seeing if I could do it non-stop. But I made myself stop because I knew that I'd pay the price on the way back.
Had lunch with a friend, stocked up on snacks and then headed back. The traffic totally ruined the return journey. Even down country lanes there were lots of cars and vans. So annoying. But at least I've got a good taste of the conditions for next week.
