We’ve been following a blog on the Morvelo Kinesis Project by a rider called Rob Lee , he’s come up with the proposition of riding 1000 miles in April.  The idea was sparked by doing something memorable in tribute to those who have inspired us to get on a bike, back on a bike or to ride further or faster!  Its certainly an experience that should stick with us.  I’m doing the ride in tribute to a little girl who recently passed away.
We’re going to have a tough time getting the miles in as we have a total of 5 days currently in April that we won’t be able to ride, that ups our daily average mileage by quite a bit. Â We’ve also got to run the shop and so don’t have the luxury of any days off apart from Sundays. Â So we are going to have to squeeze in as much riding after work as possible. Â We’ve worked out we need to do about 38 miles a day to hit the target, whilst that’s not much for a ride getting it done day in day out is going to be tough. Â There’s also the boredom factor of doing the same routes, we’ll have to be creative and find some different rides to do. Â The other limiting factor round here are the hills, we’re going to have to find some easyish routes so we don’t wreck our legs. Â Of course we’ll still do some ‘hard’ routes 2 or 3 times a week, but a flatish ride will make a welcome break.
We’ll update our mileage on this blog each day, and write about our experiences along the way.
