My first run out on my old mountain bike was only 6 miles. I think I shall call the mountain bike "Tank" from here on in. It weighs in at 23 lbs and coupled with the weight I could happily lose it means I am propelling around close to a couple of stone I could do without!
Now I am not going to mince my words here but I felt knackered. It was awful. I wheezed my way round that 6 miles and I thought.....how the hell am I ever going to do 170 miles if I can barely struggle round 6? My base fitness is non existant and this is going to be tough. I questioned whether I had it in me to do it.
Then I read this :- http://theamazing39stonecyclist.wordpress.com/
Oh.....my....word....... Seriously, go and read it and I challenge any of you to either not cry or not want to applaud. 39 stone????? and if he can do it? Well, what am I waiting for?
