I did it!

7hrs45. 124 miles. A long old way. But I have managed to cycle from my mothers all the way home! The last 20 miles or so was a real slog and I need to rethink the idea of using a rucsac as my back was very sore, but overall, I got back in much better condition than last week after my 104 miler. So, that's the peak of my training. It's all downhill from here! Hopefully that doesn't mean silly injuries or other problems start here. 5 weeks training to go, including a couple of back to back weekends, and then the main event...

Before the off...
