Our aim over the coming weeks is to repeat this, with the gradual aim of being able to cut our journey time down to 45 minutes - I might add that had Joffie and Angus not been so patient with my weary legs, they may well have finished in an hour!

First ride of the new year
Today was the first time that myself, Joffie and Angus had ridden together since the announcement of our cycle. We undertook a (seemingly!) gruelling twelve and a half mile ride around the outskirts of Sevenoaks - Chipstead, Chevening, Dunton Green and Otford - in around 70 minutes.

The difficulty in the coming weeks will be finding a time where everyone can train together. Ed was working today, whilst Alex had football. Tom also has to make the journey from Ightham and so planning our training sessions will be vital to the success of our adventure - the school holidays may be very important indeed! Nonetheless, today's ride was extremely useful in looking for routes to practice on and how difficult it will be to travel 70-80 miles a day.
