Since completing the L2P I have eased off the intense cycling to a large extent - notwithstanding a couple of major rides (more of that later).
This challenge is a little different to the L2P as so much of it is off road so I think a different target is required (for L2P I aimed at 500 miles in the 4 months prior - check out my L2P blog by clicking "Nigel - home")
I'm going to attempt another 500 miles on road plus at least 4 "serious" off-road / MTB sessions before November.
So - starting with the road miles I managed to get a kick start by going to a couple of family events by 2 wheels:
19th June - Preston to Chester (1 way) 55 miles and scary experience on "Runcorn Expressway). 55 miles
26th June - Preston to Market Drayton (Shropshire). 78 miles. Great cafe stop somewhere between Warrington and Whitchurch. Cumulative 133 miles.
4th July - waddington Fell with Mark - 40 miles. 187 miles cumulative.
THEN THERE WAS A PRETTY BIG GAP.....
1st August - Ribble Valley, Newton, Slaidburn, Grindleton with Colin. Great ride, weather held off - tough on the backside ! 48 miles, cumulative 235 miles.
Couple of off-road treks now planned.......... watch this space....
