So now I know what it is going to be like on the actual LEJOG. Today I went out with Macclesfield Wheelers and cycled 72 miles..! Had a very early start:
- 6.20 am alarm went off
- 6.30 am snooze button turned off and leapt out of bed!!
- 6.31 am started cooking porridge
- 6.50 am finished eating porridge (got to allow an hour for it to go down BEFORE I start cycling)
- 6.51 am started getting ready and hung around until time to go (leave the washing up for Geoff)
- 7.45 am set off to start of ride
- 8.30 am started 100km ride with Macclesfield Wheelers - lovely day, sunshine +++
- 3.45 pm arrived home after ride.
Feeling a bit sleepy now (8.30pm) with aching legs and if it wasn't for "The Night Watchman" on the tele at 9pm I'd probably be in bed by now - especially if I have to get up and do it all again tomorrow!!?? Which I don't, but could be something I need to practise...But, at least I won't have to cook my own breakfast on LEJOG.
Anyway, the ride was good, started off at the back, but after the first cafe stop and an excellent piece of flapjack I managed to cycle near the front for a bit; another cafe stop and it was back to the back!!
Very pleased with whole experience..
