I rode to work and back yesterday (the usual 23 miles round trip), grabbed a bit of food at home, and my running kit, then rode over to Gosforth for the local Blengdale Harriers annual hash. Its a very low key family friendly affair, with a 'hare' having set long loops for the runners and a shorter trail for the kids and 'non-runners'. The weather was wonderful, warm and sunny, although the wind kept threatening to die leaving us very exposed to the midges and horseflies! My legs really struggled to get going having already done 30 miles on the bike! Ouch... I covered about 6 miles with all the loops and false trails. After a drink in the pub, I rode back very hungry, and again the legs complained mightly once back on the bike!
