Happy Easter Bank Holiday Monday to all. It's been a spookily quiet Easter for us this year. No guests, nothing to organise. Makes a change, I must say. Today we planned a long ride (well for us beginners) and it was the whole team out for the first time...well for the photo shoot, anyway. Beth has one of the pubs busiest weekends of the year so it was hard for her to get away. But we did gather for said shoot and you can see the results here. What an enthusiastic bunch we are.
So it was just the boys and little ol' me today. Lovely to have Captain Trusty out with us at last. It's not a very demanding ride for himself and Coach so I am very grateful for their patience and company. Alex-across-the-road is now re-named Agent Alex and was looking cool and stylish, as one would expect (if slightly fragile due to a sociable Bank Holiday).
It was my longest ride so far. We covered 23.6 miles over 2hrs 3mins with 1500ft of ascent included. Bank Holiday traffic not too hectic though lots of motorcyclists out and we almost got tangled up in the bike part of the Steyning Duathlon! Nothing untoward to report, it was just a very enjoyable ride with good company and no rain. What more could one ask for? I have got slightly aching legs but that is to be expected.

Congratulations! Well done! Terrific! Keep up the good work. We know you can do it.
ReplyDeleteLess is more: more or less.
My first time looking at a blog and my first time posting a comment. If that is not a show of support I don't know what is.
Uncle David
Ah thanks! Is that Uncle David from Ireland or Trusty Ironman from UK? Whichever, thank you very much. Hope you are having a lovely Easter.

Hi,trying again to drop you a line as it hasn't worked before!! Holiday sounds wonderful!! Cycling going from strength to strength by the sounds of it. Very impressed. Well done. Speak soon on phone. Love Row xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Row! I don't know about strength to strength but certainly length to length! It'll be easier to haul up hills once this extra weight drops off (which John has assured me it will!). I am around now for the next foreseeable while so call when you get a chance and we'll catch up xx
ReplyDeleteHey Jackie, well done on longest ride so far, so sorry I missed out....looking forward to Saturday morning? See you soon, Beth x
