London to Brighton Cycle Ride - Training Diary

[Seafront Plodder]

Day 1. Paul arrives at my place and I'm still in my dressing gown with a heavy head. The previous evening was our Bonfire Society Christmas bash, which descended into a messy karaoke affair. He goes alone.

Day 2. We agree to ride out together today and Paul will call at mine at noon. Noon +10 he calls me to cancel as it's hammering down. We agree that we need to meet and actually do some cycling. Evenings are best for us both but first I need to get some lights. This I undertake to do.

Not the bestest of starts to our training but we are both committed, so that's half the battle won already.
