My Wife is a Nutter 2 "The Return of the Nutter"

[EltonFrog]

Some of you may recall this from last year: http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/my-wife-is-a-nutter.130710/page-4

Well she is at it again once a week for 10 weeks she is commuting by bicycle the best part of 100 miles, 50 miles each way. The difference though, is that last year we lived about 50 mile from where she works, this year we live about 12.5 miles from where she works, so she has to do a long detour just to get to work. Crazy Bonkers Mad!

Why? She's getting match fit for the Prudential Ride London-Surrey 100.

We are both riding it and this year we are doing for DEBRA https://www.debra.org.uk/

Nah - that's not nuts - it's quite normal behaviour for a cyclist. What's nuts is she isn't doing it all the time

50.8 Mile this morning, this is the third week by the way, I meant to post about it three weeks ago.

I would be more worried in case she has the edge over you on the 100 ride...

She beat me to it last year, by about 40 minute I recall.

Wouldn't she be better commuting each day, but not that distance each day. Far better preparation ?

PS You'd better get the miles in yourself, or you'll get a kicking (again) !

I've been taking a longer route in to get extra miles in, but I only go 5 miles! - it is hilly though. I go out lunch times too (15 miles) so getting about 75-120 miles in a week / 25 miles a day.

You are not wrong, I'm off to meet her half way later for dinnner.

Did the Pru Ride 100 last year too - it was brilliant!

You need to up your game .... and come up with a plan....
Hats off to the good lady though ....

This was her commute yesterday 50.08 miles each way.

She has just emailed to tell me that she is going to run home from work today 9.3 miles!

Then run to work tomorrow.

Mental!

10/10 for being keen .... Wish my Mrs would use the same mind set !

That is really good going. All power to her
