Not a great deal to report at the moment. First day back at work, only covered about 12 miles there and back via Tesco. Legs were a little on the stiff side, I guess that’s what happens when you work them hard for a few days then lay off for a few. Still by the time I had worked my way up Yew Tree Lane and them Mottram Road they were feeling more awake. It's now only 26 days until I start. I am really starting to look forward to it now.
My none technical approach to training had led me to decide that from now until the ride I shall take it easy though the week and then have one big ride each weekend - I shall try to pick the day with the best weather forecast and then try for about 150 miles - I figure if I ride a bit further than what I will need to then the proper days might not feel quite so long.
I will also need to finalise my route, I'm pretty sure of where I am going but once I have checked them I shall try and add links from there to maps showing the exact routes.
