Cycled to work and back today, not far just 3.4 miles roundtrip.
Bit short on time this evening and wanted to watch andy murray at wimbledon, so I set up the turbo infront of the tv and covered 16.4 miles in an hour.
Baked spud with tuna and salad for tea tonight.

Day 3
Nothing really happened on Day 3. Body had no ill effects from Saturdays ride other than a bit of sunburn on my arms.
Pretty much spent the day chilling and pottering about before an Indian takeaway tea - yum.

Day 2 - The Chippenham 48
This morning started with a 7am alarm call
- on a Saturday monring!!!!A nice drive to Chippenham, setting up the
bikes and waiting for Nathan ;-)We set off from John's house and had a nice
tail wind up the hills before turing into
the direction of the pub - where we first
met the head wind (of doom!!)A lovely lunch of cheddar ploughmans for me
and scampi and chips for mik before we
heaaded off into the wind of doom for
another 26 miles.We made it back to Johns house alive and
the 48 miles were complete.This was 22 miles further than I had ever
ridden before on Beryl and my furthest since the Oxford to Cambirdge ride (many years ago) - it was also the first time mik had covered more than 2 miles in one go on his new bike (The Black Pig, which all miks vehicles are called).Back at johns we had a nice BBQ of homemade burgers and honey and mustard sausages - which was lovely,All in all a great day and it was great to meet Nathan for the first time, and he proved to be the fastest thing ever on a bike downhill!Thanks to John and Sasha for their hospitaility

Day 1
Right, well if those boys (John and Nathan) can have a blog then so can I.
Not got much to say today, no cycling going on today as got 48 miles planned tomorrow with John, Nathan and Mik + pub and BBQ!
Weather forecast looks nice - not too hot or windy.
I hope John does not head off too quickly and lose us as I think he is the only one who knows where we are going!
last thing for today is to introduce Beryl The Black Peril who will take me from John O Groats to Lands End.
Next update after I have (hopefully) completed 48 miles tomorow which will be the furtherest I have cycled on Beryl.
