Fitness Level mmmm... not bad!



Saturday 6th January - Wife working, daughter at messy play with mother-in-law. Only one thing for it, seize the opportunity and go for a long ride to test out the fitness level so far!

Target mileage 60 miles.....
Time in saddle target 5 hours......

Off I go!

Through Ravenshead then Calverton, pass Lowdham, over Gunthorpe Bridge, onto the A46 and upto Newark. Bum a bit numb, have a break at Newark..... Right off we go again!..... Ollerton, past Sherwood Forest, absolutely teaming it down with rain, turn round, back to cafe at Sherwood Forest for a coffee..... Right! off again, through Mansfield Woodhouse, onto Mansfield, towards Sutton.....Need a few more miles for target....back to Mansfield....back to Sutton and finally.....aahhh BACK HOME!!

You are doing very well! Fitness is a great thing to do. I think everybody should care about his health.
And by the way, fitness can be not only hobby but business. Look through this fitness franchise opportunities, maybe you will find something useful for you.
