42.3 miles in the last 24 hours! That'll explain why my thighs are aching, and I'm feeling just a bit sore elsewhere. So, how comes so many miles? Well, I took the train down from Beeston to Leicester today, and rode the whole 32.3 miles home again. I was a bit disappointed with the final time of 3h 29m, particularly as I got as far as Ruddington in less than 2.5 hours. Getting lost in The Meadows probably didn't help! But, it's a new personal best, both for the 24 hours, and single ride.

And, if all goes to plan, I should be adding an extra 12 miles to the weekends total tomorrow :-)

Oh, and in other news, I played hockey with the Lunis on Thursday. My first competitive game for many months, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was also the first time for a long time that I've ridden my 20". Certainly the first time since I bought the gel saddle for my 29er. And boy did I notice the difference. The lack of foam in the old saddle quite considerable, and probably explains why I'm so sore today :-(
