This week I had to go to New York on a business trip. Decided it would be nice to take Jules with me & stay the weekend.
The hotel had a gym, so the plan was to do some training in the evenings, and then possibly hire a bike on the weekend and go for a ride. A colleague from New York kindly found me a route going from New York up the Hudson River to Bear Mountain (by coincidence his name is David Wright which is the same as John's dad, one of our support team!).
On arriving in New York, I dilligently went to the hotel gym on monday night after a 12 hour day in the office (its always busier than I remember it being in NY). Unfortunately there was not a proper cycling machine; I'd just kind of assumed any hotel gym would have one! However there was a reclining one so I used that. I only did 45 minutes, and the machine said I'd gone 10 miles which seemed about right.
The rest of the week got even busier at work, and I had started to feel a bit bad about leaving Jules for so long in the day and then disappear in the evening too. Hence I didn't make it to the gym again until Saturday, where I did a full hour and 16 miles.
By this point I had decided not to do the Bear Mountain ride. Jules has been out in NY with me before, but we've never really spent the weekend there together, so we focussed our energy instead on shopping and seeing the sights!!!
26 miles this week....not good.
