Tough day

Just over two weeks to go and out for another 60 miles today. strong head wind in places and two punctures! legs feel like lead this evening. Getting a bit anxious about the cycle as it draws nearer !!! resting for two days now so hope that will aid recovery.....

Saddle struggles

Still suffering in the longer rides with finding a saddle I can live with. have tried 5 or so now ( borrow loaned etc) even some which are quite expensive and I couldn't afford. Someone has recommended either the BROOKS B-17 N saddles or the SDG Ti FLY, way out of my price range but will take a look at them. I might see if either company can send one in way of sponsorship. I'm really getting worried now as the 60 miles has demonstrated how tough it's going to be without the right saddle. I  hope one of they they can help?

First 60 miler!

Tough day first 60 miler. Still completed and did it in 4hr 38 seconds so average speed 15mph , not too bad at all.
