Weekend started badly when I pulled out of a ride 20 miles in. Had planned to cycle from Reading to Bath along the A4, but after riding for an hour into a constant headwind I didn't feel good at all. Legs just didn't feel right. So I got the train the rest of the way and left the bike in the garage until today.
A few days off the bike and my legs felt pretty good today. Cycled from Bath to Oxford, 70 miles in just over 4 hours. The last 10 - 15 miles were a bit tough as I didn't take any food with me and started to get pretty tired. But all in all a good ride, made better by beer and takeaway curry afterwards! :D http://ridewithgps.com/routes/83730
