Up at 6:30 for porridge.
At Alvechurch by 8:30 to ride with the AMBS [Dan]. We were out for quite a long ride, going a new route which included some challenging gradients early on. My legs quickly started to suffer [I'm blaming the 40+ miles of cycling that I did yesterday] and an hour and a half later I was on the edge of a bonk. Dan forced me to eat cake at the Lickey Hills cafe and then we rode back in the rain. I was completely drained and limped home in the little gears. Embarrassingly for me, Dan had done the whole ride on a single-speed bike! And he was still smiling...
Back at home, I cycled slowly to the Post Office and back. I spent the rest of the day adding old books and CDs to ebay and watching Pokemon films with Martha!
In the evening I ate lots of curry and drank lots of booze with Lucy.
I've decided that the training will have to go up a gear as from Monday...
