Cycled 71.3 kilometres today from Buxton down the Tissington Trail to Ashbourne and then a ballbreaking extra 8 miles to Derby, where a very welcome pint of Courage Direcctors Ale went down a dream. We took a bit of a wrong tunring out of Buxton and had to negotiate two killer hills to get back on the right road – but MAN you have to do the Tissington trail it is very scenic and really well laid out with good surfaces and regular places to stop.

Train back from Derby and Mrs. K picked me up at the station – home to beer and a chill con carne.

Feeling tried and very sore and stiff but hey who cares. Bike perfomed well too! Great to be out on the Derbyshire Countryside on well marked cyle paths.

By the way 71 kilometres is 44.11 miles WOW !
