Achievement

So i've recently been getting into cycling again, as i kid i always loved being on my bike, but i guess growing up slowly meant i did it less and less, screw that i say! I can see my self really getting into to it now, always do the things you love, there's just no excuse.

Anyway me and my house mate decided that instead of getting the train home for christmas that we'd cycle home, thats from leicester to near birmingham, and is just under 40 miles. We'd planned a router before hand that took us directly across the country through some good scenery, amazing what you can find when you leave the mainstreme roads and citys, and went through a few small towns, one of which we found a great little pub where we stopped for lunch.

We got to Tamworth which is where we parted, my house mate continued onto Litchfield, and i onto home in Aldridge. It was these last 6 or 7 miles that were the hardest, it started to get dark (we would pick the shortest day of the year wouldn't we!), and my legs were litrally starting to run out of energy. But i powered on, slower that before maybe, but i got into alridge and it was when i past the croft park that i suddenly felt this great sense of accomplishment, wonderful feeling and when i finally got home i was absolutly shattered, but so so glad that i'd done it, really was a great thing to do.

So i'm going to keep this up, i've got the bike now and have been slowly buying the kit and sorts for it, expensive hobby at times but you gotta do what you gotta do.

We have also decided that mid next year we want to do the End to End, thats cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats, which is over 1000 miles. It's going to be a big challenge and will take a lot of getting ready to do, but it's definatly something i really want to do, and we've decide that were going to raise money for charity as well when we do it.

Wish i'd took some pictures so i could put some on here, but i've got to get back to leiecster some how, so see you on the other end.
