                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Did my own long run today which was a hilly tempo ride for 6 hours.  Did it on my Rourke lo-pro that I will be using for the 24 hour as it has laid back seat tube and steel frame so comfortable over the long distances.  Route was Norley, Kelsall, Huxley, Tattenhall, Malpas, Welshampton, Prees, Weston, Hodnet, Market Drayton, Norton Hales, Woore, Madeley, Wrinehill, Audlem, Aston, Wrenbury, Cholmondley, Bickerton, Beeston, Tarporley and home.  114 miles in 5:59:23 so misjudged it by 37 seconds (damn!)  This gave a very pleasing 19 mph average with 5400ft of climbing so pleased as this is roughly the pace I am aiming for in the 24 hour but on much tougher roads and with heavy wheels and mudguards and I felt great the whole ride.  Stopped once at Hodnet for 5 minutes, 3 hours into the ride for a second 750ml bottle.<br><br>I was pleasantly surprised to meet Martin Whyard on the road from Woore to Madeley so had a nice little breather as we chatted for a few minutes.  We both agreed that it was a great day to be on the bike with light wind, warm sunshine and beautiful scenery. Like me he set out at 8 am to make the most of the day and he certainly wasn't disappointed.  Let's hope that the weather has turned a corner.]]></content:encoded>
