Sat morning off on early morning training run. Weather was cool and damp cycled up a hill which used to hurt like hell but now just hurts a little bit!!!!
The first hour is always the worst bit as the body gets used to pumping away. Cycled through Yarnfield where we play badders with a bunch of other old dads, over to Eccleshall up another hill as shown in the video, what fine specimens of athletes we are
We may look a bit tired but the breathing soon gets back to normal, didn't even stop at the top for a rest, yep were turnin into well toned athletes, watch out lance armstrong, the new boys are in town. Cycled through high offley, great views over shopshire and into Wales, and up to a village called Cheswardine, where we stopped and had our Isotonic drinks, fruit bars and a couple of Bournbourne biscuts, got to keep feeding that engine. After about 20 mins cycled back home to our loving wives to dote on them, except for a little detour, due to heavy rain, to a little tea shop for a pot for two and some home made fruit cake,made by an old Granny who runs the place. Need to find more of this type of tea shops on the LEJOG and keep away from the Greggs and the Chatwins.
