Was due to ride 30 miles today but still recovering a bug and have a busy day tomorrow. Marshalled at my local #ParkRun instead. Was well wrapped up but still started to feel the chill.

Back in the Peak District this weekend. #LoveHerWild multi-region camp out. Great little campsite and joined the long walk. A little under 11 miles finishing with a traverse of Chrome Hill (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_...)

Haven’t ‘raced’ in over a year, and there wasn’t much in the way of training. Happy with my walking time for the 10km
