After a successful 1st month, I've had a rather relaxed start to my second. It's going to be catch up again for the rest of the month. I didn't ride at all Friday & Saturday - did some offroad (27km - see profile above) with Steven today and am commited to another Family day tomorrow. I'm determined to complete this challenge, but equally determined that it's not going to govern my life. I think the key will be in using my time more efficiently, by commuting more; i.e. riding to and from Aberdeen more regularly. In theory, if I did it 5 days a week, I'd cover 285km, exceeding my schedule - crawling onto my bike at 0615 in the morning however is not as easy as it used to be...
Getting Offroad today was great fun for several reasons, firstly sharing a ride and chatting with a good ol' friend is always fun, secondly I was muddying his bike (which means I didn't have to wash it...) and thirdly it happened to be a very nice Cove Stiffee (thank you very much Clubby). Getting muddy is also such a refreshing contrast to commuting over the same routes day-in-day-out. Looking forward to more of the same when I finally get my new bike built up.
