The past two Saturdays I've been heading out on my bike with Alex, a friend who is looking to exercise, I think primarily to lose weight, but also get fit. Last Saturday we did 10.5 miles in the freezing temperatures and this week we managed 16 miles. Next Saturday we're hoping to up it a bit further by heading over the Haddenham.
I've also been out the past two Sunday morning, on my own. I've done the same ride both Sundays, mainly to see if I can do it any quicker or if the bill hill in Halton is any easier the second time round - it was, incidentally! The Sunday ride is only 11.5 miles, but this morning I managed it in just under an hour. Pretty impressed with myself.
My thought is that if I continually do both Saturday and Sunday then I'll get used to doing more than one consecutive day.
I am enjoying the start of my training and if I can continue to up the milage then the plan is to get out with the local CTC group from March.
There's been no movement on the sponsorship front for a while, but I'm waiting for a few weeks for people to get over Christmas - unless people want to part with their money now, then I'm happy to take it!!
I'll also be posting the itinery for Egypt soon - it's quite daunting when you see it written down, but it's gonna be a fantastic adventure!
