Back in the saddle

After our holiday in the states, I needed to do the club easy ride to Buntingford to get me going again. 15 miles going out in 75 mins, a nice cafe stop and then I went ahead of the group as I had to get home. It was slightly windy and I could tell I hadn't cycled for 3 weeks as I was under 15 mph ave on the return leg, but it got the blood circulating again.

Ride Around London

While away on holiday, I finally signed up for the ride around london challenge which is a 115 mile route starting in south london at Herne Hill Velodrome before heading south west to get out, then up the west side to the Chilterns before going over through Hertfordshire and to the Lee Valley olympic park which is only a few miles from home. So I should be able to get home at the end, and if I can't, it's not too far to be picked up. So I need to do this to get back to match fitness after a holiday in the states and to do one final big challenge before the winter months. I have cycled 110 miles in a day, and did it again three days later after a cycling weekend in Normandy in may this year, so unless the weather is horrible, it should be achievable, but it will take all day and at the moment I am entering on my own.
