Sunday Cycle

Today was hard, so hard. At one point I was nearly crying and just wanted to go home. But, I didn't and I am glad I stuck it out. We cycled from the Sports Club up to Frodsham, talk about hills, I have never been up so many hills in one day! I really struggled towards the end, in fact I struggled for most of it. My water ran out and somebody gave me theirs, that ran out and I got some from a farm! My feet felt swollen and 9 sizes to big for my shoes, my hands were numb, my left leg practically gave up the ghost! On the plus side I have been using 'crotch guard' and that has worked, I was a bit uncomfortable at times, but no swelling or soreness.
Total distance cycled - 31.03 miles and approx 6,656 calories burned. I am pleased. For the first time I may consider getting one of those gadgets that you put your bike on and cycle at home. I am doing the 54 mile ride next week and need to up my game.
Not got the mountain bike clip pedals yet, but hopefully will get to try them out this week.
