130 miles/ 210 Km.
:)
Pretty good going for someone who really isn't the biggest fan of cycling. I mean, it's fine for a mode of transport but I don't usually go out on my bike for the sake of it just to have an explore. I guess the last 3 weeks have changed my mind a little bit... I'll have to find something really epic to change my mind.
I'd been really stressing over it because my next 2 weekends are crazy so I took myself off on an epic 23K bike ride on Thursday. As you can see, it's really paid off because I have finished! whoop whoop!
I've really enjoyed this challenge. It's been a really great excuse to prioritise me time. I always find that I feel guilty when I put time aside to go to the gym or go for a run or a bike ride because there are just too many other demands on my time.
A month long challenge like this really has helped me to make time for more exercise.
I still have another 10 days in which to add to my score, and I'll probably keep up the cycling. it shaves 10 minutes off of my morning commute and the basket makes carrying all my junk around so much easier (It's obviously better for my shoulders too!) and I've lost 5lbs over the course of this challenge.
Today 2 people asked me if I'd lost weight, so I guess I've toned up a bit too!
I would do this again in a heartbeat.
I have to say though, it feels almost prophetic that it's started raining almost as soon as I finished my challenge! I did say that the amazing weather has really helped me to finish this challenge so quickly. I just love being outside when it's sunny.
This has been the best excuse to go off exploring the local area.
Only one injury too! I fell off yesterday and hurt my shoulder (So I only had one day of poorly shoulder cycling).
