Cross Training.

Written by Phil on September 4th, 2010. Posted in Running

I have been meaning to do some cross training for a long time so this morning i went for a 10 mile bike ride which takes me to the seaside town of Rhyl. Rhyl really is a dump. This place is stuck somewhere between 1975 and 1984. There is a clearly defined cycle path marked out on a 4 meter wide path all along the North Wales coast despite this people/idiots feel the need to walk inside it. There are even little pictures of bikes painted on the path in case anyone gets confused about the situation. Anyway i don’t think 10 miles is a particularly long way to go and i suppose it all depends on how fast you go. According to my GPS i was going about 17 – 18 mph most of the time. I have no idea if this a good speed or not but i was sweating buckets by the time i got home.

My legs are all wobbly now.

A speeded up mile.

    I love the way that before I have even managed to get out out bed you have not only been for a bike ride but also posted about it!

    Rhyl. Dump. I did, however, have some fun times there as a teenager at the Little Theatre.
