Our first long training cycle

Posted on by

We did our first long training cycle, to get ourselves ready for doing the End to End cycle next year.

We did a 58 mile cycle. The cycle took us from Mike’s house. In the Orton Malborne, area of Peterborough. To a village called, Swavesey, which is near to Cambridge. The cycle took us 4 hours, 43 minutes and 40 seconds. With an average speed of 12.4 mph. Going by the Cateye CC-CD300DW cycling computer on Gordon’s bike.

First of many planning meetings

We went to the Peterborough service station. To have a McDonalds. While there, we both made a start, on planning the cycle route between John O’Groats to Lands End.

We also made a quick list, of some of the things. We’re need for doing the cycle. The things, so far include:-

  • 1st aid kit
  • 3 lots of cycling clothes each
  • Bike repair kit
  • Bike locks
  • Bike lights
  • Footware – for both cycling and off bike use
  • Gloves and hats
  • GPS
  • Helmets
  • iPod – for when not cycling
  • Laptop + USB flash drive
  • Pen’s + pad
  • Sunblock
  • Sunglasses
  • Spare battery for camera + charger
  • Water containers
