Training Luton - Dunstable Downs

Today I went for a bike ride outside. I have been training on by fitness bike at home and today went for the first time outside. I did 27km (about 17 miles) in 1hour and 45 minutes.

My average speed outside is not as good as my average speed on by fitness bike. I think it is because I had to go so slowly for so long because of the traffic. Luton and Dunstable have lots of cars!! Next time I'll try to find roads less busy and without traffic lights and see if my average speed goes up.

I can not really believe that in less than 7 months I will be 4 days on my bike, 7 to 8 hours a day!!

I really have to train a lot!!

I am so happy I am doing this!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
