What started off as a beautiful summer ride this afternoon ended in torrential downpours. Before the rain hit it was a beautiful ride along deserted Cheshire lanes, through Tatton Park, Middlewich, Northwich, Wilmslow and Styal. A recommended loop.
My longest ever single ride. All I need to do is to average those distances every day on the way to Paris in 4 weeks time.... Simple!.(?).
105km in fact.... Chris and I upped the ante a little today with a beautiful ride through Cheshire to Jodrell Bank, a place that still holds a sense of wonderment and magic from my childhood. I'll never forget a school visit where we came away with some ticker tape from the radio telescope, convinced that we were holding a record of a conversation with aliens!
Not sure I'm going to be walking straight tomorrow.
With the sudden realisation that there's only 13 weeks until our 300 mile charity bike ride from London to Paris - Chris and I set off around Cheshire for a 50km 'leg builder'. A beautiful afternoon.
