Suffolk Cycle Surgery and The Royal Wedding

Time on Bike: 2 Hours 45 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 46.75 Miles
Average Speed: 17 mph
Weight: 13st 13lb

Friday last was the Royal Wedding and not being overly interested I took the opportunity to go out and about for a couple of hours. Before I ventured out though I had my first experience of the Suffolk Cycle Surgery ( http://www.suffolkcyclesurgery.com/ ). My gears had been slipping ab bit since the fire dorr at work had whacked the derailleur on the way out of the office a week or so ago and on Jody's recommendation I had Matt come out to have a look! Twenty minutes later all was fixed and I was on my way! The bike is now booked in for a full service at the end of this month while I go off to New York..
The route that royal morning took me out to Lavenham, across through Brent Eleigh, Monks Eleigh, round to Boxford, back to Waldingfield, over to Acton, back up to Lavenham, down to Melford and home! I arrived just in time to catch the bride and groom heading back to Buckingham Palace....

By Royal Appointment

Time On Bike: 1 Hour 6 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 18.70 Miles
Average Speed: 17.0 mph
Weight: 14st

So tomorrow is the Royal Wedding and lots of people will be stuck inside watching some elbortae ceremony on their television while I will be out on my bike!! Let's hope it's not like it was this morning - blowing a gale! The response from my body was really encouraging though and despite the wind I kept a good speed up and made good advantage of the back wind run in to keep my average speed up at 17mph.
