Hot!!!

Back to the cycling after two week out due to horrific sunburn and taking care of my mum's cat.

My friend just got her new house, so we decided to meet on the east lancs. It took me about an hour to get there cycling up some hills from my flat through abram then Golborne... I still ended up at the wrong junction he he. She found me though, by this point it was midday and it was a scorcher...I did remember my suncream though ;)

We cycled along the well made cycle route adjacent to the east lancs right up to Salford then we came back the same way. It only took us about an hour roughly to cycle up to Salford and about 45 minutes to get back to my friends house, which was slightly further on from where we started.

One of the best feelings on this ride was the last 20 minutes when despite it being humid, hot and sticky the heavens opened and we got slightly soaked. It had stopped by the time we arrived at her house, but it most certainly helped. I do like the rain but I cant say I have ever been more pleased to see it. I think the temperature was averaging at 27 degrees!! Now for us little britainers that's damn hot!! No? You cycle in it then for 3 hours lol. :p

We reckoned we'd only done about 20 miles, so we googled it, well my friends other half did and shockingly we had done 30 miles up the east lancs and back! We were quite pleased it hadn't felt like that at all, it is however looking likely that 62 miles will take us close to 6 hours to do... sigh...
Cycling from home I had managed to push my mileage up to 37 I was rather elated by this.

We're estimating on the day, starting at 7.30am that we will arrive at Blackpool at about 2.30pm...yes that gives us about 7 hours so if we finish before then (if we finish at all), we wont be disappointed...

2 weeks to go and counting...hoping the weather cools down a little for the big day...

Oh and on another pleasing note, I have raised over £100 so far! :)
Thanks to everyone.
