Mrs Basil and I had planned to go on a ride this weekend but the forecast can be summarized ‘pissing it down while the sun is up’.

As a workaround, I’ve thrown in a last minute morning off work, and I’m going to drag her round a 60km coastal loop before the forecast thunder storm hits in the early afternoon. It will be by far the longest ride she’s done.

Camino de Santiago

I’m keen to go riding, well, because I usually am. Mrs Basil is particularly keen because she has begun a virtual challenge of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage.

So every km she can rack up is going to count, and while she walks about 2 hours a day and jogs twice a week, she’s going to need to eat up some km on the bike to make life easier.
