My arse is killing me!

Yesterday i went for a bike ride through Manchester to try and find my work so that I could do some sort of dummy run, to work out distances/timings etc.

Now what should have worked out at about a 13mile round trip, turned out to be over twenty miles because...well...I got lost!!! I was nearly there! If I had just carried on instead of turning left...! I could have been there in minutes few, instead I ended up going about five miles out of the way and going through Withington, Chorlton and Rusholm!!! Fudge!! I was so not impressed.

I did eventually find my work on the way back and then passed the area where I had turned left...not impressed at all. Then to top it off I went to try and find the beginnings of the canal to try and ride down it into Failsworth, I even asked at the Castlefield Hotel to confirm it and they said yes just follow it round and over the bridge and it takes about 15mins to Failsworth...did it Fuck!! It took me all the way back to GMEX where I had to get back on the road and go through the city centre anyway!

I ended up going down past the station and through Ancoats. Although I did find the canal eventually, it was a bit of a mistake. Full of cobbles and kids which are not a nice combo at the best of times. I will also add that cycling in hailstones is not advisable!

I never thought I would ever reach home yesterday. The last stretch into Failsworth was a bloody killer and I was so cold, wet, miserable and tired that I could have cried!!! I finally got home at 9pm and well the length of time and distance I went wasn't bad considering I am not fit by any means, and plus the fact that i haven't cycled like that for years!!
