Well last night I decided that it was about time I stepped up to the mark and try to go a little further. So armed with Martin's 'Specialized' much lighter weight mountain bike I set off.
Badby - Staverton. At the Staverton roundabout my boss John Hunter, who is also doing a sponsored cycle ride next weekend came past me and shouted 'come on, keep up!!' I think I said 'Go away' or words to that effect.
From Staverton I went to Flecknoe bad choice, too many hills along that road! / Sawbridge / Grandborough / Woolscott / Willoughby / Braunston (yes up the hill) / Daventry / Badby - 17.5 miles in 1 hour 20 mins!! Chuffed or what!! I'd like to thank the 2 gentlemen on the tandem who spurred me on to go up Braunston Hill in one!!! Got to the top and shouted Woo Hoo!!
I got home feeling very pleased with myself, but also a little cold coz firstly I forgot my gloves, bad move!! my poor little mitts were frozen, and my feet had got cold through the web material on my shoes. Spoke to Grant (Em's lovely fella) and he's suggested that I put an old pair of thick sports sock over my shoes! Good move. I'm going to try that tonight. Yes, I'm going for it again..you can't keep a good woman down!
