This weekend Tom came up to do some riding in the Peaks.
On Sunday we zoomed through 50 miles of the toughest hills on the Sheffield side of the Peaks (3400 ft of ascent in total). I felt really good right up until the last 3 miles. By the time we got back to Sheffield I was very glad to see my house.
On Monday we planned a longer ride. We rode out to Glossop (nearly in Manchester!), down to Buxton, across to Bakewell and then back home. It was just over 75 miles in total and had some gruelling climbs (4800 ft of ascent). I really suffered for 2 thirds of it so it was a real test of my will power to even get home!
Today I'm pretty tired. The main thing that shows how hard I was riding is that my arms ache from pulling on the bars so hard while riding up hills.
