Been clocking up the miles this week-several decent rides- well over 80 miles with hills! Yesterday Gordon Swingler joined me for a training ride via Cam/North Nibley/Stone and we did over 30 miles with some ups and downs. Great part was through woods by a small river between Huntingford and Damery -delightful! I really felt it because the day before I had done 30 miles (to 2 gigs) including the mile long drag up a brute of a hill from the bottom of Stroud to Parliament School. I was in a fairly dishevelled state when I arrived for my gig because it was so warm and humid on that climb.

The gigs both went well with very different audiences. I adjusted my story at the WWT because it was a young audience and added some new touches.

As I have been so busy no writing this week.

Really looking forward to the Tour de France that starts this weekend. Our Brit Bradley Wiggins has a real good chance-fingers crossed.
