Tedious

26, 40 & 32 miles. I have to be honest and say i've found the past week or so a bit of a struggle with regards to motivation. I have been a bit tired from working but can't really blame that, i'm just not as excited as i was a few weeks ago about the ride. I think the learning curve may have stuttered a little, and i've never really liked riding just for the sake of it, I prefer it if i have to get somewhere on my bike. It's a case however at the moment of just getting some miles in my legs and improving my fitness.

There are also times when i question my ability to do the ride, especially on my own and also question why i want to do it, also especially on my own. It does seem a bit selfish and self indulgent at times, but then if i look back to how i was thinking in January then that helps me rationalize my thinking, so it was worth keeping this diary after all. Self doubt, i guess, is all part of the process when doing something like this. In a few weeks i'll be cycling to Llandudno so I'm looking forward to the challenge of getting there. In the meantime i'll just keep on peddling away.

The pothole from the other week, which i saw without a puddle over it this week.
