It was great to throw myself back in the game with you all and start on the journey to regain my fitness back. At times I found it really tough more of my body getting used to endurance of constant energy depletion when your on the bike all day. I really missed by enigma as I forgot how comfortable it is to ride.
I felt quite looked after so appreciate the ability to draft when the wind got hold and obviously the route masters for leading us round and to the cafe.
We had a late lunch at Asda al-fresco which was necessary but a bit of a comedown after leaving the warmth and excitement of the Tip-tree cafe and at that point the thought of another 50 miles was enough for me to call it day, but I did not like the thought of a DNF and that was enough to push me on. Also an opportunity came again at Chelmsford and it was very tempting as I would have had company on the train home, but I persevered on. After
@Eddie _C saw me safe to H & I, I had to take a taxi home from Islington as was totally beat and hardly had the energy to eat the sandwich I had left, even though I needed some energy in my system.
My body feels likeit worked today a little stiff but I will stretch it out later ready for my short commute in the am
Hopefully it was just a bit of an off day
