After a prolonged bout of pie eating and school dinner sampling wile neglecting cycling activities, the dawning realisation that the start of a 1200 mile French cycle camping tour was three weeks away got me out on a bike.
I chose to ride the Decathlon hybrid that I purchased in Orleans to replace the broken Dawes Galaxy.
I chose to ride a DIY 100km Audax - the first one in three months.
I chose to ride it at a minimum average speed of 15km/hr instead of the permitted 10km/hr
I got round in under six hours despite so strong headwinds but I'm now paying the price.
I'm now tired and aching.
Equally, I'm reassured that I'm up to the tour - I'll be pedalling at a much gentler pace.
