point eight nine miles is what I have cycled today. Thats the first time I have ridden that far on my own for forty years.

That is all. Carry on.

    I did consider it and could have, but the last eight miles it started to pissistently (sic) rain, and I had had enough and I wanted my mum.

    Nice one! Now, of course, you realise that the pressure is on to do 40, then 50.
