Been looking forward to this event for some time but apprehensive about my lack of training - still it's a chance to clear out some cobwebs and meet up with 3 of the LEJOGGERS again - namely Tim, Andy & Simon.
Set off at 0700 & made it to hartlebury Ind. Est by 0830. Andy & Simon both had new bikes and Tim was on his trusty FOCUS.
We cycled downn to Upton on Avon for the first cafe break & some welcome tea & cake.
From there we headed East to Evesham as the temperature dropped and my legs ran out of energy at about the halfway (38m) point. At the cafe there I took on some welcome carbohydrate (beans on toast) for the final leg.
At this point Tim, Andy & Ron disappeared into the distance leaving me & Simon to toil on with tired legs. We made it even with a 2-3 mile diversion at the end when we got lost.
We were both completely knackered but happy to have made it!
