Did a 40 mile ride yesterday, so feeling quite pleased. To Salcey Forest and back; it was a good mixture of tracks, off-road and hilly roads. Part of route 6 cycle network. It's a lovely to discover all these hidden areas you see from the bike. Having lived in Milton Keynes for 30 years it's really a joy to discover all these tucked away nooks and crannies. Everyone was having fun round the rivers and lakes- great stuff!
I stopped for an ice lolly at Salcey Forest cafe before heading home and have to say I found the last 5 miles hard going in the heat.
In France I hope to get some miles in, though whether I'll be able to tot them up is another thing, as the cyclo computer thingy Bill bought for me in France doesn't work!
If I can get in a 60 mile ride by the end of August I'll be happy as that's the most we have to do in one day. I just then need to find some hills (Milton Keynes is pretty flat!) and get some back-to-backs in.
