Nine pounds heavier than I should be and haven't been on my bike for over 4 weeks, so the training for my London to Paris ride in June starts today!
Nothing too strenuous, Richard and I enjoyed a 4 mile walk through the woods after breakfast, then after a quick maintenance check of the bike I was out on the road.
A lovely sunny morning, too windy but not too cold, I followed 3 reasonably traffic-free country lanes on the outskirts of Camborne which I call my loops! Penponds and Baripper loop, Kehelland loop and finally Reskadinnick loop. All involve a few hills but I was pleased to find it all pretty easy going.
I was only out for an hour, completed just over 8 miles and even had time for a quick sauna and shower at the Leisure Centre before lunch! I must join the gym there before too long and try their Spinning sessions - exercise-biking to music I gather! Very good for building up stamina!
