Did a short version of my ride from the station before my town, loop through countryside, home. 14 miles total and for some reason today my legs moved as if through treacle (which I have only just figured out what is since I moved here to UK). Slow going. I blame it on the winds. Which will hopefully at some point make me strong enough to tackle hills at some point in the future. Less than a year to AidsRide! AAAA!! Panic!!!!

Did a bit of exploring on my ride too. Found a website for a local farm offering pick-your-own berries not too far from town. Turns out it is only 4.5 miles from my house. And next door to that farm is another one with a plant nursery and tea room. Could make for a nice Sunday outing if I can convince people to join me. I think at least BF is up for it.

And on a completely unrelated side-note: Susie Q the cat is being very cute. She for some reason prefers curling up on paper or cardboard. She has now made herself cozy in my cardboard box full of papers I'm supposedly using as references for my thesis. She is putting the papers to much better use than me.....
