Well the sun came out and didn't it feel like summer? Went out for two hours on Sunday with only a short sleeved top on! The only foolish part was that I had breakfast (just a bowl of cereal) at about 9:30 am and then did some odd jobs about the home (varnishing the deck - that sort of thing!) which meant I didn't go out until just after noon and I hadn't taken on any more food. About 90 minutes into the ride I was feeling weak! Still completed a full tour of Bures, Lamarsh, Henny, Borley, Foxearth, Cavendish, Long Melford, Acton and Great Waldingfield !!! Joy!
1,506 Miles to go!!!!
A daily (not always) blog about my cycling and the world as it unfurls around me. I set myself a challenge to cycle 2000 miles during the year (mostly by cycling to work and back) and this is the record of how I achieve the aim and all the things that happen on the way!!!

Log Entry #20: Cavendish
Time on Bike: 51 minutes
Distance Travelled: 13.77 miles
Average Speed: 16.2 mph
Totals: 18 hours 16 minutes, 295.92 miles, 16.2 mph
Tried a different route last night that took in part of the Tour of Britain route and one of the KoM climbs. It was a good ride but turned out to be not as long as I'd hoped. Made the climb relatively comfortably and then because I was coming back into Sudbury via Melford I really pushed it along the bypass before turning for home. Legs are improving!!

Daily Log #5: Cavendish
Distance travelled: 8.36 miles
Time on Bike: 30 minutes
Average Speed: 16.72 mph
Totals: 65.68 miles, 3 hours 56 minutes, 16.7 mph
Okay, you may have noticed it was only a short ride for this log - went to a meeting yesterday afternoon and was so late back to the office that I only had time to take the short trip home instead of the long one!
Bonus for the day was, of course, seeing Mark Cavendish win Stage 5 of the Tour and show some incredible humility with it.
Today it's going to be HOT. 31 degrees apparently so expect stories of sweat and heat exhaustion in the next log!!!!

Daily Log: #2
Distance Travelled: 12.95 miles
Time on Bike: 50 minutes
Average Speed: 15.54 mph
TOTALS: 30.06 miles, 1 hr 48 mins, 16.7mph
The greatest bike race in the world started at the weekend - The Tour De France. I love July merely for that fact. And there's no better time to be a Brit following the Tour with not one, not two, but eight (8) British riders taking part and both Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish in with a chance of real honours (overall and sprint respectively).
On a personal note, this morning some idiotic mother didn't even bother looking before turning right in front of me and I nearly caught the back of her car when she was forced to stop as she had nowhere to go. I hope her under 9's didn't learn any expletives from me!
