Thought I had done my first 50 mile cycle training ride yesterday but on AA route planner Perranporth to Padstow clocks in at a mere 22 miles. So even allowing for detour to parents and some extra miles in getting across Perranporth and into centre of Padstow I can't see me getting above 47-48.
A good challenging ride nonetheless and felt satisfied with efforts; particularly as it was such a struggle to get out of bed and on the bike. Really enjoyed an Origin coffee in Padstow - worth trawling round to find a cafe that did Origin.
Felt 'ok' after so that is reasonably encouraging but have to bear in mind that I have cyclosportif (North Cornwall Tor) over tougher terrain and covering more than twice the distance in 8 weeks so more time in the saddle required...
I had a first today when I had planned to do a 6 mile run and ended up running 10 miles (through choice). I had set off across the beach feeling heavy (late lunch) only to feel inspired to do carry on at end of beach and climb onto coast path round to Hollywell Bay. Ploddy pace but nice warm sunshine.
