One day mileage record broken! (only 85)

[Thompson]

It's not really 85, it was 83.334miles. But I figured rounding it up would do. I had been aiming for eighty for a target to train for the coast to coat in a few weeks time. There's not much to tell but I am very pleased with this. I'm back out tomorrow on the road bike (not sure how far the leader guy won't tell me).

The last few miles were painful but I blocked the pain out and just concentrated on turning those pedals. Seemed to work.

That's all.

Well done - great feeling to beat your personal best distance, isn't it!

Although it was 'only 83' it was still great. Did a further 35ish today so nearly 120miles in two days. This is proving as great training for the coast to coast.

Time for a nice big rest and possibly a back massage.
