Did no exercise yesterday. We pulled a hedge out for Phil's shed to be slotted into place so with the bad weather that came later it meant I had to have a 'rest' day.
Anyway to put things right today I did 33.77 miles on the FCR1 to start off. Wanted to test a route out that would avoid the hill through Turnditch. So did what I planned yesterday, road up the bypass, through Wyaston, Rodsley, Longford then all the way along Long Lane to the edge of Mickleover, then went down through Mackworth, past Markeaton Crematorium, up through Allestree, over to Duffield. Then set off up the Wirksworth road and turned off on to the road signposted Quarndon and Kedleston. This was to be the cunning alternative to the Turnditch Hill. However, quickly found out it's a got a dirty big hill all of it's own. Hey ho, that's life. Averaged a pace of 4:21 which wasn't too bad over that distance.
