So Alan and I did the BHF ride last weekend, 40 miles which we completed comfortably in less than 3 hours, which was what was required of "Elite" riders so that felt pretty cool. Followed this with a week of 20-25 miles a day. Then on Saturday we did Glos-Severn Bridge-Chepstow-Lydney and then wimped out getting the train back (we both needed to get home due to other commitments). Then I cycled to Stratford Upon Avon with Claire driving "Gert" the 1978 VW Motorhome to give it a try out. Stayed the night in Stratford and then I cycled back, met Alan in Evesham and got home, bathed, changed, had something to eat and waited for Claire, who had called the AA out to fix the van, which had refused to go any faster than 25mph. Its booked in for a service next week.
Will update on how Matt got on, he did the Tour of Wessex this weekend, which must have been horrible, sunburnt on Saturday and then that wind on Sunday and Monday.
I'm really not sure how to play the next few weeks, I think I am just about there, don't want to push it too hard now, but don't want to lose what I have gained, so to think about it I've been to the Barbarians v Ireland game at Kingsholm tonight (only a couple of beers).
