For clarity, I got a train 11 miles one day because when I woke up I couldn't walk, never mind cycle, my knees were so swollen (old, recurrent problem which I foolishly didn't think would be irritated by the cycling, boy was I wrong). It was a particularly hilly and tough day so I made the decision that a short train ride would give the painkillers time to kick in and mean that I should be able to complete the rest of the cycle rather than bail totally after shafting my knees completely early on.

your health and safety is more important than some spurious notion of getting "the tick".
Brief Flickr set is here They're not brilliant photos, lets just gloss over how rough I look by the end of the week , and I have given up trying to get them in the right order, so they don't really run in sequence but they give you an idea, should you be bored enough to have a look.
Having said that, I wonder if that means that Saturday now counts as the day of death-equivalent??
