80 miles

yesterday i cycled in the baked oven of sunday roasting summertime. fifty one miles before the rest break, the feet were absolutely killing me but otherwise I was good. having not cycled since i was evicted from employment a week and a half ago i was absolutely knackered by the time i made the start at adenbrookes but i soon caught my breath. there was a mighty decent and return back up said spike for those mad enough to want such a challange, yes please! The cafe was shaded and very welcome after 51 miles (from chesterton) with tea and flapjack provided and a banana from the backpack. an incredibly cute piglet, about the size of a medium cat, called pie (nice for it to know its future so early) sitting on its own in a cage with umbrella for sun protection. the return back to cambridge was te shortest possible but as the day was getting past 1300 and into the afternoon the sun was even stronger the wind weaker and the over even hotter. I only just made it back to chesterton exhausted and feeling so so ill. but 80 EIGHTY miles on the clock!!! Ace in the Hole.
In the afternoon Roberta, her bloke, Fiona and Karen all met up in Cambridge and I dragged my carcass over into town to meet them. Nice to see them. Went to the famous bakery's cafe had cuppa tea and cake after walking round the town a little. Then played frisbee near their carpark quite windy and thus quite dodgy with light frisbee great fun tho. adios familia. bike back to chesterton more miles on the clock. hands really sore and feel still numbish in places.
watched i know what you did last summer, very good actually . and scarey too. made my blood freeze a couple times.
slept so much. i woke up at 700 this morning dusted the pipe got a drink of water and went back to bed getting up at 1400. whoah. it did stonk it down with rain this morning. its thinking of doing this again now. now its just before 1600.
