100 miles to Gloucester and back!
May1320125:46 p.m.
Yes, I finally managed to rack up a century of miles and feel now that training is officially going well. Courtesy of a physio session on Friday evening when I had some work on my hip flexor and IT band, my legs seemed to be completely recharged! I struggled more on 70 mile rides recently than this one so it shows that the odd bit of TLC for your legs pays dividends. So off I set through Bromsgrove, Worcester, Tewkesbury before arriving in Gloucester in about 3 hours. Great weather - bright, not too warm and a gentle breeze- and armed with food and drink, i really enjoyed the ride but was inevitably very tired when I got home 4 hours later.
