Sorry for the delay, couldn’t get a connection last night.
As most of you know the weather wasn’t the best today. Not ideal to start a 5 week bike ride to the south of Spain! I got soaked within the first 20 minutes of being out on the road. Anyway, ill take getting wet for the first few days for some nicer weather when I get to France and Spain.
Everything was running pretty smoothly, I had a good nights sleep, good breakfast inside me and I was ready for the days ride. Met the local press outside Avis house in Bracknell. Had photos taken and also little interview for the paper. Then the problem started, had real trouble getting my sat nav to work. It didn’t want to navigate me anywhere. Lucky enough I knew the way to get myself going. Ended up meeting a friend of mine, Nav (at least one Nav was working today) outside his work in Chiswick. Just a little stop before i set off again and went past Buckingham Palace and Big Ben.
Arrived at my destination this afternoon, been out for dinner and got some snacks for tonight.
Today’s journey was 51.1 miles, I was riding for 3 hours 33 minutes, max speed was 27.3 mph, avg speed 13.8 (slow because the self navigation), 3000 calories burned and 3.8 litres of water drunk!
Hopefully Mr Sat Nav will want to play ball tomorrow and get me all the way to Dover in time to make my ferry!
I Just Felt Like Cycling 
Right! Finally been able to comment on here (even though I have been reading your blog everyday, haven’t been able to comment off my blackberry or work computer), while Gem is watching Britains next top model!!! Glad they did not get my car in our photo…showing how lazy I was driving from my building to the front of the business park.
