Did I do the plan?

Well, it depends how you measure it. Time constraints yesterday meant that I missed the target of 60 miles for that day - only did 47. But because I was ahead of schedule the other days, I made the overall target with 3 miles to spare. So a record breaking week of 240 miles.

Friday was 55 miles all within the Bournemouth/Poole boundaries. It included some of the chines that I hadn't done before (e.g. Alum Chine), twice round Sandbanks and Hengistbury head.



Saturday was similar but with a different route through Poole. Hampered by roadworks and traffic in general because it was the afternoon rather than the morning which was one reason for not getting quite the distance I wanted. Then there was a heavy shower for about 15 minutes. Not that anyone here is complaining about that as it was the first heavy rain we have had since Easter. The view is from the top of Constitution Hill looking over towards the Purbeck hills




The plan for the next two weeks is to take it a bit easier, put in long rides on the remaining Saturdays and keep the current level for the main event.

Only 18 days to go!
