40 miles on Saturday, followed by 30 miles on Sunday was tough but encouraging. Shouldn't have gone for a brief run on the Monday, that was definite mistake which I was paying for, for a couple of days.
Looking forward to a long ride next weekend incorporating a bit of off road as well, back to the muddy stuff - should be fun!
I had a similar plan, but after 53 fun miles on Saturday, I've not been on the bike since as my knees appear somewhat broken :(
ReplyDeleteIt seems I'm fine for any given ride (and carry very little tiredness over to the next day), but two or three days in a row mean a far bigger challenge for my knees than anything else!
I did a 45 mile 1000m of ascent ride on the edge of the peak district on 5th may as a way of replicating day 1. It was cold and windy and not much fun at all but good training. Since then I have been away on holiday and only managed two 10 mile routes from robin hoods bay as the rain keeps on coming. Planning a 90 mile ride from Nottingham to Skegness in a couple of weeks.
