Training is coming along

Well I did my farthest solo ride yesterday. 74 miles, in 6h 40. That also includes about 1h 30 of stops (I like to take a relaxed approach to long rides, but I am trying to cut down on my stops) That's also the first time I've done better than a 10mph average for a ride over 40 miles. I decided to give my new energy drink a go and it certainly seemed a big improvement, I just seemed to have energy all the way round. Very impressed.

I was absolutely exhausted last night and had a lot of general aches and pains, but I feel pretty good today, much better than expected. Given myself 2 days off (luxury!) Next week I'm picking up the pace again and doing 30, 40, 30 and 74 miles. Not long to go now.
