Figure of eight

Paul & I decided that it was high time we did the 50 mile circuit and the 20 mile circuit. So Paul devised a cunning figure of 8 circuit of approx 70 miles which we started at 7:30 in the morning. We were back by 1pm, but had a couple of stops for snacks & drinks, so were only cycling for 4.5 hours. Quite a decent pace - you begin to think that the LEJOG route might actually be achievable after all.

Don't get too carried away Iain. Even at that pace you'll be cycling for nearly 13 hours on the first day(excluding stops for sustenance and other things)! You're going well though, keep it up. Maagendaas.

I suspect that is how long we really will have to be cycling for....ok maybe 12 hours would be better!!

I think if we're doing 16 miles and hour average, we'll be doing well...

Scary huh?!
