Another 45 mile warm up ride

Today was the second day of riding the whole way into work as part of my preparation. I definitely have not yet recovered from the effort on Tuesday, but managed a much more respectable hour and a half on the way in today, so definite improvement on the two hours twenty minutes earlier in the week.

It's a beautiful ride in for me most of the way, along the trans-penine way and the Bridgwater canal. The way home is always harder, as the sun sets and it gets dark and cold, but at least the Bilbau football crowds didn't trouble me! In fact there's definitely something to be said for avoiding the tram crush each way, and I was amazed to see the day's efforts have burnt off about 3500 calories!

Busy day on top of normal work full of preparations for posters, sponsorship pages and ideas on social media - hope it all works out.
