Riding from Didcot these last few days, a decent route
(thanks Daren Austin) past the scenic power station, up
towards Harwell village, across to East Hagbourne, Aston
Tirrold, and on to Streatley, Goring, Crays Pond.
I don't "do" training on the bike, but this is a lot like
interval training. Today I got to the top of one long hill
and found I was still on the middle ring, which was nice.
22.4 miles home, still a bit slow at 16.5mph, partly because
it's pretty much dark by the time I get to Crays Pond
which of course reduces the speed a bit. But mostly
because I'm horribly unfit at the moment.
Enjoying the ride, though, even on the stick bike (even
if the crosswinds are a bit much going along the top
from Cholsey).
And the fading light gives me a real incentive to get out of
the office. Or, in the case of this evening, the sunshine
gives me etc. etc :-)
Happy. happy. happy.
