This is going to be so hard........

Last weekend I  cycled 46 miles up into Northumberland and it was a lovely sunny day so the 3 ours I spent doing the ride did not seem too bad. However, today was a great deal cooler and the 40 miles I cycled around the airport and back through Gosforth (3 times!) was much tougher. I had my padded shorts on today and they helped a bit but I am still getting slightly saddle sore. Fortunately, at our end of season awards night I was given a pot of Vaseline by a kind supporter which will come in handy I think!

I am going to go out Monday and Tuesday this week to try and get some more endurance into my legs but it is certainly dawning on me now that I have undertaken a massive challenge that is going to be very hard to complete but is also going to hurt a lot. I will probably take Wednesday off as I am going to travel to London and meet the guys from RP Martin who have kindly sponsored me for the ride. Thursday and Friday I will jump back in the saddle I would have thought and get some more under the belt but I don't think I do any more miles than I have already as I am tired as it is from the rugby season we have just finished.

I will keep a regular blog from the ride as a diary here so if you are interested in hearing how we are getting on then keep checking the 'Blog' section.

Cheers
