OMG 50 miles

Okay... so on Friday I got entered into the Tour de Furness, a 50 mile cycle ride from Barrow-in-Furness to Coniston. It happens today. I'm a little worried, because I haven't cycled that far in a long while, and also because I haven't got to do any training. Everyone else has had months to prepare their bodies. It's gonna be hard work!

I wonder if this kind of thing happens to other people. It seems to happen to me. In May I got entered at the last minute into a 40 mile sponsored walk. I'm not complaining. I just wondered.

I am sure I will enjoy the ride today, and I will also stop to take a few photos to show people what they have missed. (I'll stop to rest really, but it is as good an excuse as anything.)

I also wonder if I should have put some decent brake blocks on my bike

Keep on rolling

******* Update *******
The ride went well, and even with extremely thin brake blocks I managed not to slide, skid or crash. cool! Maybe next year they'll ask me in advance and I'll get to prepare
