Cycle 20 miles in a day

I managed 35 miles on my bike yesterday and my legs don’t hurt today. Considering the most I’ve done so far is about 18 miles I’m quite proud of myself!

About a month ago now my friend Lee came to visit and we went for a long bike ride and afterwards when we measured it out it worked out to be 18.75 miles.

I got a new bike in June. Well, I say new… It’s actually second-hand from my cousin.

I hadn’t been on a bike ride on my own bike for about 8 years prior to this, so I wasn’t at all used to it when I first started out. I was a bit nervous and wobbly. I soon got used to being back in the saddle though and instead of just using it to cycle to work on I also want to go on long bike rides. I started just going on short rides of a few miles, then I’ve been slowly increasing my distance.

Yesterday I managed a new record of 13.32 miles. The previous record was 11.11 miles. So it’s over 2 miles further. I’m hoping to be able to cycle 20 miles in a day by the end of September.
