ride my bike more

Have commuted twice in the last 7 days – 30 miles a day. Was planning to do it again today, but my whole body aches… I have cycled or run every day for a week, so a day off might be a good idea.

I also purchased a shiny new road bike as part of project triathlon, which is fantastic to ride, and saves wearing out my mountain bike when training on the road.

Saturday I rode 43 miles on the road, which is the longest distance that I have tackled in 8 or so years. Think I should have had more carbs before hand, as I started cramping after 35 miles, but I made it :-).

Next time I will be putting my slicks on before riding – 43 miles on off road tyres probably didnt help!

Starting from Sunday last week, I rode 125 miles in 7 days :-).

If I can average 75 miles a week for the next 4 weeks, I will call this thing done… Riding to work twice a week covers 60+ of those miles, so its more a problem of motivation than time / ability..

Tomorrow is my first day of cycling to work. Its 15 miles each way and I plan to do it twice a week to begine with.
