LEJOG Training Started

Managed to get a nice ride in yesterday from home, up to Rivington circumnavigating the Yarrow reservoir. Sarah coped really well on the two single chevroned sections but i managed to fall off on one. Touched some mud on the verge with new tyres and grip level was zero.
Nice chilli baked potato for lunch at Rivington Church Hall before a pleasant cycle home via Adlington and Coppull.
Bit a a speed compo down to Birkacre from Coppull and I nearly came a cropper but outdid Sarah by 1.4kph. Phew...I will have to expend effort to keep up downhil demon status. She's quick!
16miles so will have to keep building up from here
