That is fantastic, well done, you are inspiring me to get out there a bit later and try and add to my distance (currently around the 6.5/7km mark).

Well, check you! Love the positivity. I was about to go yesterday when there was an almighty hail storm and the temperature dropped sharply so I wimped out. Today, however, is another day....
