It was important that I increased my mileage on the bike as I have a couple of lengthy rides coming up in preparation for September, so I need "miles in the legs". Today I cycled with 3 of the ATHelite team and managed 51 miles. We took in some good hills so when I got back I knew I had worked hard.
However a lot more to be done because on 4th Sept I will be cycling 90 miles and when you're half way through you have to climb 2,000 ft in a 6 mile stretch. I can't imagine what that will be like except probably the hardest bike ride of my short 3 year career! So many more miles and hills to conquer in the coming month.
Tomorrow I'm "touchline dad" as the football season has started and I'll be supporting Ali. So it's a day off, well sort of. There's an outside chance I may have a 10k run later on but we'll see how I feel.
