Even though we're mid-preparation for the Hope Revolution Tour the weather's been great all week, so I cycled to work again - and for the first time this year. In one sense it's hardly worth recording on here but it was 11 miles in a day and I still don't do it frequently here it is!

I was pleased - getting there, apart from one point when I found myself in the wrong lane - was fine and I did it in 32 minutes, only a few minutes longer than it would take to drive. I did the first 3 miles without stopping and only stopped for a drink. I'm not planning on setting any speed records but it felt OK too - I wasn't absolutely exhausted when I got there, either. I'm really encouraged that my fitness is increasing sufficiently to be able to do this from time to time - I was knackered by the end of the evening (and probably should have gone to bed earlier anyway!) but it's a step (or pedal) in the right direction...
