Is what I have decided to call my one girl cycling team... as it is fuelled by them. Did a training ride today. Feeling a lot more confident for next Sunday now. Did 34 miles in 2:43. Only got a little bit lost in Nottingham. Got beeped at a couple of times. I'm fairly sure bikes are actually allowed on roads, but I will check my highway code later! Ended up doing a fairly nice route, although some bits were a bit scary. Went on the A6 to Hathern and Kegworth, then on the A463 past Ratcliffe (where I shouted things at E.On!!)
Then a bit in Nottingham, back through Wysall (ish), Rempstone, then another detour to Prestwold and Cotes.
As long as next week is not like the last 3 miles (wind and heavy rain), then I think I will be ok. The most uncomfortable thing was the neck ache.. but I'm sure more bits will hurt after 100 miles!
