Gentle Ride...!?!

Went out on the bike this morning for a gentle ride as part of my taper for Sunday's race. It was just terrible, my legs felt all heavy and I just had not energy or motivation to get round the route I'd set. I'm seriously worried that I've ballsed up all the preparation for Sunday now...

I decided to try a route I've never been before, mainly to se what the distance was like for future reference. I started off my heading to Rampton and through on to Willingham, rather than going left or right like I have in the past, I went straight on into Over. You can cycle round Over in a loop, which I did and when I got back to Willingham, I was back on familiar territory.

I finished off by going through Longstanton down the back road to Oakington and then back into Cotenham. I don't think I'll be going through Oakington any more as I go against the flow of traffic coming through the traffic calming measures. This puts me directly in conflict with idiotic car drives early in the morning at pinch points that I have the right of way at. I just can't be arsed with the agro any more.
