Clockin up the training miles

We clocked up 220 miles last week - all part of our strict training regime. We did a 60 mile ride to maidenhead (facinating trip along the A4 - you wouldn't believe the scenery), plus Andrea did an extra long 30 mile trip to work one morning. And I did my regular 12 miles to work and back, the only difference being that I was fully lycra-ed - a bit like this fine chap.

Training trip across Dartmoor

We conquered Dartmoor this Easter. We made it on the second attempt - the first ended in a return to base after our fingers and toes got too cold in the rain. We Stopped at Princetown for food, but got too cold! Lessons learnt. So the next day, we tried again - this time it was dry, but still cold on the exposed parts of the moor. We made it to Exeter after leaving Plymouth 43 miles away. It was a hard ride - some tough hills - so good for the thighs, but hopefully harder than what we're going to experience in Belgium and Germany on the trip.
