Today was another lovely spring day so I just had to get out again. I managed to almost double my distance today. The temptation was to keep on going but I kept in mind that there was always the return journey so managed to limit my aspirations and kept it down to about 10 miles. I got home feeling as though I had done some excercise but not at the near collapse stage I ended up the last time. Another few days rest and I’ll be able to go for another increase.

One thing I did decide on was yet another upgrade. The gearing is just a bit too high for my style of riding and I will never use all 12 gears. So I’m going to look out for an affordable chain-ring. I just need to work out how many teeth I should go up to.
