i’m on 468km now having done 68km on the mountain bike today. My legs were unimpressed, but it was a fantastic day in the Peak and I started off on a group ride with nice folk, then bumped into a few more on the way home. All good until my forks stopped moving up and down.
I’m slightly amused by observing myself clocking up miles and pondering the differences between riding the bike to ride the bike and riding the bike to score comedy brownie points on an online challenge. Mostly it has taught me that I am ridiculous and seem incapable of devising a flattish route – so far I seem to have climbed something like 9,300 metres on a mix of road bike, cross bike and mountain bike.
Plan is to sneak out for a couple of hours on the road over something scenic, maybe Holme Moss out and back, before New Year, preferably when it’s dry. Or at least wet but sunny. Another 700m of climbing would be nice too, but not sure I can be arsed.
Impressed, as ever, by Minipips’s appetite for miles. Love the Old Hall pic 🙂
