50 miles

A couple of weeks off training - first week just very busy at work, second week in Portugal!

Anyway, came back with some trepidation to the training schedule and decided to do a 20 miler on Sunday and 50 today. Other than a need to oil my knees every now again (ibuprofen gel thing) I made the 50 miles without too much concern. I have thought started fixating on getting proper cycle shorts. Its getting a tad sore on the saddle.

The odd thing about a new interest is that there is more detail than you want in every subject you enter. So, I want cycling shorts. Google. Look at a couple of stores and my local one. 6 panel versus panel. Bib shorts versus normal looking ones. I just want some shorts that are going to make my backside less sore over the course of 100 miles. I'd rather I didn't look completely odd in them but I'm reconciling myself to needing to look more like a cyclist than I currently do.

If the shorts don't do the trick then a new saddle may be in order. Just looked up those on Google and that looks even more dull a subject.

Right, early to bed - just a little tired.
