Up at 6:30am for porridge. Got on the bike about an hour later. It was still quite cold that time in the morning so I still had the winter gloves on and I was freezing in my shorts. About an hour later, the day had warmed up and I was really enjoying my ride. I turned at Anne Hathaway's cottage and headed for home, stopping for a banana and a glug of water on the way. At about 6 miles from home I realised that I was really starting to feel ill. I got worse and worse and eventually had to limp home in the tiny gears. I simply hadn't eaten or drank enough. I rode 45.3 miles at 12.7mph
I discuss this ride in more detail here:

I recovered during the afternoon and then Lucy and I went out for dinner with my family. I ate loads of unhealthy food and drank three pints. Then We went home and stayed up until 4am talking and drinking...
