Sunday afternoon ride

20/9/2015

A blast out in Northumberland, out along through Ruding Mill and on to Hexham, before turning up the long series of climbs to Slaley, down to Blanchland and then on round Derwent Reservoir - first avoiding the stray sheep on the roads - up to Carterway Heads and down into Shotley Bridge. Along to Ebchester and then the climb up to Heddon on the Hill, with a final call from the geese and the rave-whistles on the descent back down. 37 miles, but the climbs felt like more!

Can't say today's temperature are much use to me in preparing for Death Valley, but useful miles in the legs all the same. 1,750 miles this year so far, considerably more than I expected.

Another Sunday ride out with Lee, but my son Adam finally making it out on his first ride since London to Paris 7 weeks ago.

Weather great, and Northumberland countryside as spectacular as ever.

Dry night if somewhat blustery, so out into it to take advantage. Pushed-on hard despite the wind, managed to blag a load of PB's over the 20 miles, and pushed the average speed up. Need a lie down now!!

Another fantastic L2P adventure completed!!

Great route - tougher, Great company - new friends made, and another great fundraising experience, in support of Fibroduck Foundation.

Training continuing now for the big one in a couple of months. My 2nd ever "century", merely a calendar-month after the first. Getting as much as I can in as the weather will start to go downhill soon enough.
