2013 Week 17

Week 17 (w/e 28 April 2013)
Miles: 110.5

No photo for this entry I'm afraid as I've used up my cache.

The week got underway with drizzle, although the skies cleared later. I took myself out for an hour in the afternoon, coming home with 15 miles despite the fierce south westerly gale that was blowing. I went back out in the evening for the usual 8 mile loop, thus ending the day with 23 miles in the bag. Tuesday was a running day ahead of the fun run, so I didn't get out on the bike at all. Wednesday afternoon was cloudy but fine, so 50 minutes in the afternoon brought me home with 36 miles. I went back out at 9:30 that evening even though there were spots of rain in the air, moving on to 47 miles in the process.

Thursday was fine and sunny once earlier rain had passed over. An afternoon ride took me to almost 59 miles. I topped this up in the evening to 67 miles. Friday was another scheduled run day, so no cycling was achieved in the afternoon. The evening saw me go to the pub, so I moved into the weekend requiring 33 miles to chalk up the obligatory ton.

Saturday was sunny and warm. I cycled into town as usual that afternoon, coming home with 77 miles. I didn't bother with the supplementary ride once I'd got back, but did nip out in the evening, coming back with 86 miles before sloping off to the pub again. Sunday was a bit grey and drizzly - not enough to prevent me from going out in the afternoon though. An hour later I was back home with 102 miles. Despite the lurking presence of more showers off the coast, I nipped out for the final time that week on Sunday evening, eventually rolling home with 110.
