Phew... I made it!

Well it was 59 miles in the end. I left home at 7.45 and got here at 1.30. And only 1 puncture! I'm aching all over but pleased I did it. I doubt I'll feel too funky tomorrow though.. And no, I'm not biking back...

Nearly there...

Although I'm not quite sure where I am at the moment.!?

Oh look... a puncture.

Yeah, haven't had one of these for days...

Half way!

Well I'm in Abbergavenny. I've been on the road for just over 2 and a quarter hours and have just past a sign saying Cardiff 30 miles. Phew..

Here we go!

Well 7 and a half miles done, 54 to go... gulp! So much for a sunny day, it's bloody freezing!!

Oh and about time..

Well I've managed to take in a few extended trips as a warm-up to Cardiff. On the 5th May I did a 25 mile route from home via Credenhill, Hereford, Belmont and The Callow. Then I went along the Rotherwas bypass (not opened yet and traffic-less) and ended back at work with a puncture. Yesterday I started off at work, went to Homebase to see a burning car (!?), then headed out to Leominster. After climbing Dinmore hill and taking the old Leominster road I called at Morrisons for a drink. Then out to Monkland and back home via Canon Pyon.. just over 28 miles in total. It was a beautiful day and I probably lost a couple of pounds in sweat!!? Nice..

Erm..... maybe tomorrow

Ok so the ride didn't really happen today. Well it was raining, and very windy. Plus, I hadn't been on my bike for three days. It was hard work just getting home..
Tomorrow! Now thats more like it.. weather permitting of course.
