Well this weekend I decided to branch out a bit and try going for a longer distance. Since my training started, cycling from Leicester to where we used to live in Nottingham has been one of my big goals. The total trip was 76.2 km/47 miles and it took me about 3 hours. My route took me along the A6 through Rothely, Mount Sorrel, Quorn and Loughborough. At Kegworth I turned on to Long Lane which brought me back through Sawley, Long Eaton, Chillwell and fianlly into Beeston where Gilly was waiting for me with a large glass of water and a biscuit (sorry Lisa). I am surprised at how good I felt after this ride. I had a little bit of cramping but my legs were still ready to go. Maybe I'll see how good I feel tomorrow...
