A forced week off the bike thanks to various appointments and the all important Board Meeting in Bognor. And was that a waste of time? The roads were kind and the drive down took only 2.5 Hours (which meant we arrived at 7:30!) and then got some year end work done in the office before the meeting. Then Sir Nick arrived and said he had to be away by 12 so the meeting itself was rushed and we were done by 12:10. Back to WF for lunch then away by 2:30pm. Arrived home just over 12 hours after leaving....Mind you, I've felt tired the rest of this week - even fell asleep during Tinker Tailor at the flicks last night, oops!!

Tough Test

Distance Travelled: 20.71 Miles
Average Speed: 17.5mph
Weight: 14st 5lb
Totals: 95 Hours 13 Minutes, 1639.26 Miles, 17.21mph
It was a tough test last night as Jody finally joined me on the journey home. I know that I like to keep my average up but he was determined to push us to the limits. Apparently according to his computer we averaged above 18mph for the journey......

80 Percent
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 28 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 25.67 Miles
Average Speed: 17.5mph
Weight: 14st 4lb
Totals: 94 Hours 2 Minutes, 1618.55 Miles, 17.21mph
It seemed to take a long time to reach the 80% milestone. Especially thanks to Summer holidays etc. Things should speed up now thanks to my youngest starting Upper School and no longer needing picking up every morning. It means I can leave early and cycle into work on a more demanding route. Over the last few weeks I have been using the Melford bypass hill to add about a mile but I plan to come via Bridge Street from Lavenham once the year end is complete (financial) and I can relax into a normal routine once more!!!

After Spain
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 17 Minutes

Weight: 14st 5lb
Totals: 92 Hours 34 Minutes, 1592.88 Miles, 17.2 mph
Spain, early September, hot and sunny!! Stayed for a week in a friend's apartment in Torrevieja. It meant using a car as there were no real local amenities but the beaches were good and caught up on a bit of reading.
The bike this morning was not too much of a struggle considering the week's sojourn but with a head wind I was unable to attain the 30mph target on the downhill into Long Melford. I'm sure it won't take too long to get back up to speed!!

Pound Off

Average Speed: 17.2mph
Weight: 14st 2lb
Totals: 91 Hours 17 Minutes, 1571.35 Miles, 17.21mph
At last I dropped a pound. I think the extra mileage has had something to do with it - and the not drinking alcohol since the weekend. I have intent to get back to 14st flat but with only three more bicycling days before flying off to Spain it looks unlikely....I can but try!

Early Starter
Time on Bike: 1 Hour 28 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 25.96 Miles
Average Speed: 17.7mph
Weight: Too early!
Totals: 89 Hours 26 Minutes, 1539.53 Miles, 17.21mph
Today I got up and left for work. With this being the first day of a new financial year I had to be in the office to get some year end processes finished so other people can carry on as normal. That's what I'm doing right now! And because I left early, the roads were so different - fresher, busier, tougher! Back to normal tomorrow but I will probably take a long route home to compensate for time and because I can!!

Body Back
Time On Bike: 1 Hour 37 Minutes

Average Speed: 17.43mph
Weight: 14st 3lb
Totals: 87 Hours 58 Minutes, 1513.57 Miles, 17.21 mph
Feel like I'm finally getting my body back after a very very very boozy Saturday night. We had a vinyl party (I call it a party but can you really when there are only 8 people present?) where we played all our old favourite black disc music. Great night but then Darren said whisky - and that was all she wrote! Sunday was an embarrassed fug, Monday a busy day of clean and recuperate, yesterday a low energy back to reality day and finally today I'm BACK!!!! Tonight we start setting Little Shop - nervous, excited, trepid. Wish me luck!
