This ride, organised to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation, was part of Alison's pre-Ghana training programme. We elected to do the longer route, which at 60km was not too demanding. A pleasant enough run through parts of the Thames suburbs that I had never really seen before. The weather held out until after our mid-point tea break, after which it began to bucket down. I was actually quite grateful for the rain as it helped to keep me cool. I should have followed Alison's example and consumed an energy booster with my tea, as I was definitely running on empty for much of the second leg, until I stopped for a much needed Mars Bar. Meanwhile, Alison had been surging ahead thanks to her previous stamina training. We both arrived in Windsor in rather a soggy state, but recovered quickly enough with a pint and a bite to eat. Then back on the train to Twickenham and a well earned Sunday roast down at the pub.
