I was making some great progress and doing 20-mile plus for my last 3 rides. I was loving it and started feeling the benefits in fitness, so from a fat old lad hurting after covering 8 then 10 then 14 miles etc, I break through the 20 mile barrier and then the weather kicks in. I really feel for the people who have been flooded etc, but I'm also getting seriously jarred off because its either ice, wind, rain, rain and wind, rain and wind and some ice ...... Not been out for a fortnight now and by the looks of it I may not get out again this coming weekend, unless I can find some spare sand bags to keep me on the road
