Cycled 100 miles over Easter.

Thsi is made up of 144 km from Newcastle to Carlisle along Hadrian's Wall route 72, plus the ten miles to get home from the station afterwards.

Everything went according to plan.
Day 1: Newcastle to Hexham.
Day 2: Hexham to Haltwhistle.
Day 3: Haltwhistle to Carlisle, trian home then cycle home from station.

The worst day was the second day. it rained all the time and there were huge hills to climb. I got really out of breath even when I tried to walk up hill. I thought I'd do better as I've been training for this nealry all year but what the heck I finished it.

Today my calves, knees and chest are aching so I'm having an easy day in.

For the record started with computer at 193km - at Carlisle it was 337.5 = 144.5 = 89.78 more or less 90 miles plus the extra 10 miles about from the train station home.
