A big day today. Just got a few miles to do to achieve riding 5,000 in a year. Fingers crossed today as this has been an ambition for the last 4 years and never achieved it for one reason or another. During this summer, with back problems, and a discovery of a cancer tumour in my small intestine didn't think this was going to be the year. Luckily, the back problem has disappeared and an operation shortly should clear the lump out of the way. All is going good at the moment. July and August were not good months but seem to have got over that and back to previous levels of fitness. The next few weeks may hold things up a bit, but ever hopeful, have signed up to cover 5000 in 2019 as well. There is confidence in the NHS for you.
Today's ride was a fairly sedate affair. A lot warmer than yesterday, the rain held off till after lunch so the ride down to East Brent was a pleasure. With about 14 miles to go, spent some of the time counting down the miles until the 5000 mark was reached which, by good planning, ended up right outside home. Had to be on the safe side though so extended the ride a bit down to the Tropicana on the sea front where the winter ice skating is at the moment.
