That was the single biggest section of riding ive ever done. It felt great to be back in the saddle. In addition to pushing up my fitness I was able to really get back into cycling after my crash and definitely feel more confident. The new tyres I brought post crash are turning out to be amazing, slightly more resistance but a good feel and after 400 rough miles not a sign of wear or damage.
As Im sat on the train home, its great to see virgin trains have a sense of humour encouraging passengers not to flush their hopes and dreams down the toilet. See the photo. Theres another noisy lady on the train here. Ignoring the fact were in the quiet coach, shes a irritating noisy scouser. Shut up woman! The more she talks the lower her iq falls, some of the crap coming out of her mouth is ridiculous. As we pass preston, some young students get on and continue the dumb talk. Firstly they debate a planet which is apparently 200 million light years away and whether a spaceship could reach it in someone's lifetime. Next up is concorde and why thats no longer in service and finally life planning with their boyfriends "I want a new car", "I might get an abortion when pregnant to get on big brother". Oh and then theres the salt free diet they claim to have "i dont add salt to nothing except chips". How did these people survive evolution?
When ill get back up to finish LEJOG I dont know ive some time off in late July but ive a feeling itll wait til Sept or Oct. We shall see what i can fit around work, I reckon ive another 7 days riding with a travel day at either end.
