Felt great today, unfortunately didn't manage to get a 50 miler in before the big ride, but I'm feeling good, might just have an hour on friday to keep things loose but other than that I want to rest up before the big ride.

Put a few hills into the ride today and a strong headwind coming home made the going quite tough, got a niggling pain in my right knee now (24 hrs later) hope its nothing serious, will rest up a for a few days, dont want to risk it with under 2 weeks to go till the GNBR.

Round Breedon + a bit more
Distance = 41.1 miles
Time = 3 hrs 45 mins
Ave Speed = 10.9 mph
Top Speed = 30.9 mph
Weather = Sunny 25c
Total Milage = 339.4
Out early doors to avoid the pounding sun, was still 25c when I arrived home at 11:30am!!
Added to last weeks ride by staying on the Cloud Trail to Derby and back along route 6 to Long Eaton then home. Going to stick to this route but adding a few miles to it each week until the Great Nottingham Bike Ride, next week I will add a couple of miles between Donington and Wilson by going out to Melbourne to pick up the Cloud Trail towards Worthington. It's a good route as it offers a few hills and some off road, when up to 50 miles it will be a tougher ride than the one I'm preparing for.
New speedo purchased, much better quality than the Tesco special, only thing though it doesn't give an ave on the cadence, I can still check my rate though.
