Update!

I meant to add this a while ago but I forgot. Anyway, Tim is also attempting 30/30. Assuming he rides today then he'll be up to 19 rides. Great stuff :)

In other news, I start work on Monday. Eeek! Driving in every day will drive me mental so I'm going to try riding in occasionally. Read all about it here - http://longdistancecommuting.blogspot.com/ :)

30/30 roundup

It's been a bit of a chore at times, mainly due to the awful weather that we've had all month - very windy, very wet. I've had some good rides though and I'm definitely stronger than I was at the start of the month. Would have liked to get some long road rides in but I really couldn't face battling the wind for 3+ hours. Anyway, it's done now. Thanks Jon for the challenge :)

30/30

It's done! Needed to be back by 10am to watch the MotoGP. Eventually dragged myself out of bed (stupid clock changing) and out of the door by 8:45. Quick ride up to Rivi Pike and back. Trails very wet but it was a lovely sunny morning. I'll write some sort of summary post later.

Woke up to unexpected sunshine so skipped breakfast and headed out as I knew it wouldn't last. Trails very wet from all of the rain we've had but still fun. Was pretty tired after a couple of hours (about my limit for a ride with no food) so headed home.

Two more people have dropped out of the running for 30/30 - Sara was undone by a trip to Scotland and a delayed flight and Jenn was ill :(

For the rest of us, 1 day to go!

Just an hour on the pompino today. 3 more rides to do. Shame the weather has been so rubbish, haven't felt like doing any long rides at all.

More horrible weather, getting a bit tiresome now. Felt quite good after an hour so added another loop despite the weather. 4 days to go.
