Cross training 3:54:00 [2] 105.2 km (2:13 / km) +1019m 2:07 / km
Big ol' day on the Bike with Jack. Wanted to bag my first 100k ride before going back home for a bit, so just winged 'a make it up as you go along route', not a better day to do it than the hottest day of the summer so far, 28 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Route was: Gladhouse, Gorebridge, Pathhead, dicking about the Dalkeith Bypass and then through Mussleburgh and back for a loop up the coast road. Managed to jump on the back of the wheel of a boy who was TT'ing up the coast road which was good bants although he didn't look like he thought so! Felt decent the majority of the way and had to slow down a fair bit in the first half of the ride because Jack was still dying from a ERC session the night before. He started riding better though after a coffee stop and I happily sat in behind for a good bit as i was feeling a little tired. Luckily though the bonk only really hit today when i was lying on the meadows with a cold coke at the end of the ride, so prefect timing really. Beaut day and some beaut tan lines now.
Very bottom of quad is a bit sore now, maybe pushing it a bit in too high of a gear or cleat/seat position a bit out. Was always going to show up any bad set up on a 4 hour ride anyway. Hopefully good for a wee chill in the pentlands tomorrow.
