We're getting there!

After a week in the US where steppers and the occasional exercise bike was the extent of my training, it was good to get back on the roads today. 77.5 miles in 5 hours with glorious sunshine following me was the outcome. I have to say I write this feeling absolutely exhausted, but also encouraged by the fact that I am now only 10 miles or so short of the maximum distance on the C2P! Clearly the real challenge is doing it day after day, but knowing that the maximum is within sight is very encouraging.
