Virtual Lands End to John o'Groats - Part 4

Another long slog on the exercise bike.  I managed 15.63 miles this evening, taking me through Stroud, and past Painswick Beacon.  I've now reached the village of Upton St. Leonards on the outskirts of Gloucester.

My bum and legs are absolutely killing me as I needed to simulate some steep uphill riding as I climbed Uley Long Barrow and Haresford Hill, but what comes up must come down, so I had plenty of downhill peddling too!.

In total, I've completed 88.77 miles this week in 6 hours, 5 minutes and 53 seconds, giving me an average speed of around 14mph.  I have travelled 297 miles from Lands End and have another 860 miles to go until I reach John o'Groats.

I'm really pleased with my progress so far.

Need to get fit...

I'm a sad bugger. I like data and statistics, so I've knocked together a nice spreadsheet to record my progress on my newly purchased exercise bike. It automatically adds up what I've done each day/week so I can make sure I'm reaching my weekly target. I've only done 8.86km over 25 minutes (and that nearly killed me), but I'm starting slow and easy to begin with.
