27th September - Bike

Hackney to Chelmsford - 52km

http://www.mapmyrun.co.uk/view_my_run_43016

The plan was to do 74km to Braintree, but I cut it short due to my knee.
The first 10-15km the ride was ok, I could tell my knee was a little sore but nothing major unless I got out of the saddle.
After that the pain got worse and it was painful all the time, and very painful uphill and out of the saddle was impossible. As it was too far to turn back I went for Chelmsford.

The ride was actually a very nice route and I would like to do it again. There weren't any huge hills, so not great for hill training.

Other than the knee I felt ok, and no post ride aches otherwise except for saddle chaffage (nuf said)

Doctors on Wednesday to have a look at my knee (and calf).
