Rivendell or bust - day 32
A total of 340 miles in 32 days. Not bad. 60 miles to go. I'm 23 miles ahead of Bilbo and company; two days; though that will begin to change. They're about to meet the trolls and ... more importantly, lose one of their pack-horses - the one with the food supplies. I suspect it is more for that reason than any other that they will begin moving faster and further, between 12 and 16 miles a day for the next 6 days. That will eat into my lead, as I can only manage 11 miles on a good day.
The entire journey from Bags End to Rivendell took/ takes 38 days; so I do expect to finish up on time.
One of the things I've begun to do are "spurts". Three or four (or more) times a day I will pedal as fast as I can for 15 minutes; trying for an "intense exercise" bar on the fitbit page (each bar on the graph is the total of fifteen minutes of movement). If I do it right, it adds a mile to my total, but that's not really the reason I do it. It just feels like the right thing to do.
