Not sure why I haven't posted about any individual rides during July; but here is a roundup anyway.I only managed to get out 7 times in the whole of July - not exactly brilliant, but not terrible - 3 times on the MTB and 4 times on the road bike. Most of the cycling was on previously established routes, although I did find:
1. A new bit of offroad in Thorndon that added an extra mile to that ride. Interesting, uphill on wet grass is a killer.
2. I tried out a blast along the A128 fro Orsett. Was OK, but too much fast traffic to make it a regular ride.
My times for the routes I've been doing before have got better and better, so I need to push one and increase duration and distance on the road bike. Not too fussed about longer MTB rides at present as there is still a fair bit of Thorndon to explore if I need to. Got to try and aim for a 30 miler this month, sure that is doable if my knee is OK (I popped it trying to chase a fitter cyclist up the hill in Dunton...) and the weather stays alright.
