Twenty one miles

At the end of the ride the bike computer reads 21 miles, further than I had intended to ride. It’s a good exercise though and my perception is that in this intensive series of rides I am riding one gear higher as a result. My average speed has increased from 14.5 to 15.5 mph too.

So in the past week I’ve cycled 121 miles and the fundraising total on the page is £640 with another £90.00 pledged offline. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

I’m travelling a little slower here than Dickie Hammond did at this location. This is the airfield where he broke the land speed survival record.
I’m just passing 10 miles into this morning’s ride. I wish I had time
to explore the Air Museum but I must press on.

Holtby starts training ride of week

Another Monday and only one more to go before the big ride starts on
July 7th.
Just a short route this morning. More stories to record at lunchtime.
This is Holtby to the east of York. It’s very quiet this morning. Even my
bike seems to intrude into the peace.

There will be an update about the Palestinian students later.

Home for dinner

I resisted the temptation to ride too far – despite the sunshine. Tonight’s training was 21.6 miles.

I’ve been looking at the maps to take note of the route of the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway, but see I need the Yorkshire Dales Western Area map too. I bought a specialist map of the route from Harvey’s. It’s not too impressive. The route of the cycleway is marked on the OS Outdoor Leisure maps so I’ll probably use those on my ride.

I’ve booked a B&B in Hawes for the overnight stay all I need now is a praking place in Grassington.

I’m not on my own

It’s possible I’ll have earned a short break from cycling by the time
this one comes around. Sponsor me for the 7/8th July. See www.help.co.uk/ridingbike
