The legs are evil and must be punished

That was probably my longest post-work ride ever. 38 miles with 3081ft/939m of climbing.

We started off on the usual Chew Valley route but took a slight diversion in Pensford to check out a new variation on the route. When we got back to the outskirts of Saltford instead of taking the easy route home I rode part way back with Ian and took in a few more climbs. The extra climbs and a few impromptu sprints along the way have finished me off for the night.

If I can get another good ride in in the next few days I should be on for my best month since I started keeping track of my mileage.

    My legs aren’t awake. Riding up the hill to work was a bit painful this morning.
