Less than a month to go until the BikeOxford 80. Yesterday I rode 70 miles and apart from ‘bonking’ at around 62 miles and having to take a 10 minute break while I scoffed a Double Decker and recovered I feel I survived quite well.

The plan is to do a similar ride in about 10 days’ time with a few shorter rides between, and then see what I think will be the best way to lead up to the day itself.
