It's a bank holiday but it's not raining.

That's something i suppose.

I need to start doing more miles in less time. I'm intending to do a long ride without stopping at the slightest excuse, eg to get a photo, admire the view etc(both of those might also be for a rest). So I'm doing a route that I did recently.

I'm with Hills on this one. Sure, you might get occasions when you're under time pressure or you might even get in the full rhythmic flow of cycling and don't want to stop, but if you're not cycling for fitness alone then stops are good for the eyes and soul too.

The town is full of Morris Travellers!


Sorry I mean Morris men and women.

Yep, crackling too.

I'm the only one in our family that likes it. The wife even cuts the fat off her bacon!

Call me picky, but I really don't fancy touching any of those buttons.

I'm at the Anderton Boat Lift again. I admired the glorious views all the way but I wanted to keep the legs going. I am sort of in training, in that I need to get faster on longer rides because my next challenge is the Manchester 100 mile ride in September in aid of the Christie Hospital. The most I've ridden so far in one day is 70 miles.

Why ?

Are you in training?

Remember it's all about the ride, not the time.

Ha give up. I tried to quote 2 messages but as you can see it didn't quite work!

Good you're getting started early on that training, 100 miles is a big old milestone @Katherine . One I'm trying to work up to as well.

Today is meant to be about getting the legs going faster. I probably will only do about 60 miles as I have packing to do when I get home for a few days away.

70 miles is pretty good going for a girl.

It is, you only manage that in a month.
