Day 10 - Performance Enhancing Podcasts

Bristol, Avon to Newbury, Berkshire (via Bath and North East Somerset and Wiltshire)
72.16 miles

Right, so the day comes far too quickly following a fantastic rest day and when I wake up, it is absolutely tipping it down. I had been told though that the rain might ease and so I made time for myself to have a big brekkie and to drag my feet a little before leaving…it worked! Amazing. For the amount of weather (never thought you could say this with it making sense – how can you have an amount of weather) that was around, I think I dodged a bit of a bullet today by getting off relatively lightly. There was also a mighty wind today and I must have paid my dues somewhere as for the most-part it was all a tail wind – beautiful.
But, I hear you ask, why call this blog performance enhancing podcasts? Well, I shall tell you. I was on a tow path for the first 30 miles or so today and because of this, I thought I’d change my listening habits. I turned to the podcasts as I didn’t need to concentrate on listening for traffic and I could lose myself in cultural issues of the day. They were brilliant and did they enhance my performance? Well, I know more about hydrogen fusion now and that’s more than I could say this morning, so what it definitely did do was to heighten my performance in future debates and high level conversations! I hope!
Is there anything that Cycle England can’t do!
Other things to point out, there was word that I might have had a shout out on Heart FM in Bristol this morning and if you haven’t heard already, a glossy mag in Bristol called ‘Area’ and they are planning to run a feature/article on Cycle England in the May issue!
