Long ride
Decided to try and get a long ride in today. Was tired but am resting tomorrow so thought may as well have a go!
Route plan was - Cambourne -> Knapworth -> Fenstanton -> St Ives -> Houghton -> Huntingdon -> Godmanchester -> Offards -> St Neots -> Abbotsley -> Gransdens -> Longstowe -> Caxton -> Home
Result was 43.32 miles in 2.25 @ 17.8 mph.
First hour was great, clipping along at 20's nicely, once I got through Godmanchester and turned into the wind the going was really tough. The hills into St Neots were the toughest I have ridden then Abbostsley to Gransdens just took the sting out of me. Really struggled today and had my first doubts.
Been a tough week though and a welcome rest day tomorrow is long coming. Will recover well and come back strong next week.
