6 weeks to go!

Only 6 weeks to go now - eeks! Time is getting pretty short. I did manage to buy a go-faster bike though over the Easter weekend (an adequate second hand Specialized for those who care) and been on a couple of rides since - nothing great - total of 52 miles. Now having a few days off resting a few aches and pains - a sign of old age! - however I keep reminding myself that I must not complain as there will be others on the ride who will have lost limbs.

Planning to start riding to the station this week. 13 miles each way, with about half over the tracks of Salisbury Plain. It should be a lovely way to start the day, however having been out this morning at the appointed start time (5.30)it was still on the dark side of twilight. The charts tell me that towards the end of the week this will be better - I do hope so as I don't fancy having to negotiate the potholes of the tank tracks in the dark!
