For some reason I've never got round to creating a blog. Maybe because i didn't think i had enough to write about. Or that it wasn't worth reading. But Now i have something to start with.
Myself and my good ol' chum Tom have decided to cycle to Lisses in July. Starting from Cambridge the trip one way is around 350 miles. Which were hoping to complete in around a week (Then staying a few days and returning). Allot of thought is going into the route, places to sleep, equipment to take and food to eat along the way. Which at the moment I can't be bothered to write about.
This evening i rode a little under 13 miles as a test run on my new bike, finished in an hour and 15 min (Avg 10mph). It was a nice promising start, i thought i would be more tired after. Considering I haven't really rode a bike in over 5 years. Although i may still have a surprise tomorrow morning.
Some ideas i need to think about. Sunglasses seem like a nice option (as well as the obvious they keep bugs out of the eyes), and even after this distance the sadle started to get a little uncofortable. Something to watch out for when i do a longer ride.
Thats bout it for now.
