Cycling Through The Night!

In preparation for out three peaks bike & hike challenge in the summer; I set of 1.45am on the morning of Monday 4th June, to cycle to Portsmouth. This is crazy?That's what we were thinking stood on my friends doorstep at 2am, saying come on lets cycle to Portsmouth in the pouring rain and in the middle of the night?! Anyhow, we did it; the three of us cycled 75 miles arriving in Portsmouth in the early morning after spending many hours cycling and over an hour in Mc Donald's in Winchester trying to get warm! We spent the most of the day sleeping in Portsmouth, then went into town and went to the cinema,had a Nando's and watched the sunset like nothing had gone on the night before! We then stayed in a Travelodge and woke at 6am to cycle home again. After two days and approximately 150 miles of cycling we think it was a successful training ride!
