Last week, I travelled from Birmingham to Glasgow, the long way round (on a bicycle!).
On day one, I travelled one quarter of the distance.
On day two, I travelled one half of the remaining distance.
On day three, I travelled three quarters of the remaining distance.
Yesterday I travelled one third of the remaining distance.
I now have 21 miles left to travel.
