Six of us set out on the final training ride: 70 miles in stifling heat, with threats of thunderstorms. Three loops, of 28, 26 and 16 miles, with two cafe stops. Only three of us were left by the third loop and we all made it home just before the threatened thunderstorms.
Really pleased to have managed 70 miles feeling ready for another loop. All bodes well for next Saturday's 100 mile ride. Only one mishap, on the first cafe stop I managed to snap the frame of my glasses. So, I had to do the last two loops without my glasses. My vision is good enough to ride, without glasses. What I learnt, however, is how many little flies glasses stop hitting your eyes as you cycle round!
