Jude and I meet up for the day and decide to go cycling for the day. Jude is currently training for a full Ironman so training 6 days a week, so I am a little concerned before we go out. When she arrived I was still in my PJ’s having got out of bed 10 mins earlier!! Anyway we get kitted out, well I put on my shorts and t-shirt, whilst Jude looks kitted out for the Tour De France and her bike weighs about as much as my saddle!!
Anyway we skirt around Leicester and head for the countryside. Lots of nice little country roads, very hilly, but spring is well on its way, so its great to be outdoors and decidedly warmer than a couple of weeks ago.
Jude is ahead of me most of the time but we make it to Oakham in just over 2 hours. Stop for tea and cake before heading back along the same route.
Total miles: 47
Navigation: Spot on
Punctures: 0
What I have learnt: I need a road bike and Jude is mega fit!!
There’s always someone fitter than you Em
Or in mine and Jo’s cases, there’ll be about 10 people fitter than us. Is Dave F still coming? I hope so…
