Nearly there, very close to the Grand Depart (Tour de France term). Another good week on the training front with 125 miles and 2,031 meters climbed. The climbs included 3 times up to Ditcham Park School, at the top of the South Downs, which is a 100 meter climb over 1 mile. See picture below for proof I did it – quite some view from the school playing fields. The picture was taken by one of the teachers that lives up there and had just come back from a ride – every ride he does ends with this climb.
This next week will be my last for full on training before the ride so I will try to do better than this week. I have to say that I am very pleased with were my fitness is now.
Need to start thinking about what to take with me and start collecting it all together. Probably need to cover all types of weather – we are going to Scotland in mid summer.
Weight still going down but still overweigh according to the NHS website.
Last week I mentioned the new mirror (the third so far) so I am pleased to report that it works very well.
Really getting excited about the adventure now.
