I went on the CTC ride on Wednesday but the weather was very wet so cut it short to 45 miles. Also did a ride on Saturday of 22 miles so 67 miles in the week is OK.
Weigh has come down another 2 pounds so that is still on track.
Been reading some blogs of people that have done the same tour that I will be doing. The first 3 days in Devon & Cornwall seem to be hard with lots of short but steep climbs. Will need to start some targeted training for this, luckily there are a number of hills like that round here. I will try a set of reps up a local hill this week to see how I am getting on in that area.
