After a healthy brekkie, I set off on the country lanes towards Stratford Upon Avon. It was rather windy today and I was surprised to discover that in the exposed areas I was actually blown several inches into the road. It made me say words like 'bother' and 'drat'.
It was the longest ride I've ever done and I struggled massively towards the end of it. Thankfully, the hangover had cleared by then.
Good news on the saddle front: after much fettling this morning I seem to have found the correct setting. Numbness is still an issue but not enough to prevent me from riding the full 75 miles...I don't think it will be anyway.
Today's ride:

Back at home I felt really worn out, like I'd been in a fight or something. I ate lots of peanut butter and drank some milk.
Later on, Debbie came visiting and she and Lucy went out in Solihull. I ate a banana.
After I'd picked them up, we stayed up for a white wine and cava fest until about 2.30am!
