Only 65 days to go - crikey!!
This week's Tuesday night was moved to Wednesday & we decided to try a different route, to give the hills a rest & build up some stamina on the flats! From Canford Bottom roundabout to the mini-roundabout by the doctors in Wimborne is about 2 miles, so with this in mind we dropped down to the Texaco garage (or is it Esso now?) & off we went! Happy days when we got to Brook Road where there's temporary 4way trafic lights!! So all the good momentum we'd built up on each stretch was knocked for six - we got through them once without stopping!! Never mind, all three of us got out & it was good fun!!
This morning, just Sam & I headed out to extend the 40 miler we did a couple of weeks ago - Sam did really well & the 1 mile hill at Iwerne Minster we climbed together today - nice one Sam! We dropped back onto the Salisbury road & made it to the Sixpenny Handley roundabout today then had a really good run for the next 10 miles averaging 17.5 mph (good for us anyway!) Endomondo says 3,923 feet of climbing today, so that's not shabby! Weather ended up being excellent, so we were both down to short sleeved tops - great to get the arms out in the sunshine!!
Freddie Flintoff's on tonight's Jonathan Ross - so hopefully that'll be fun & hopefully out tomorrow with Jack!
Keep Pedalling & enjoy the sunshine!!
Andy
