Ride thoroughly enjoyed despite my lack of fitness & nearly a year out of cycling.
Cracking friendly folk made the day, no man/woman left behind & found some back lanes of Manchester I never knew existed *thanks Steve*, your boy is a junior cycling ninja !
That cobbled climb was known about but still a shock when I turned the corner & I instantly knew to dismount or fall off disgracefully & the Hobit tunnel by the canal & the approach to it required some artistic riding to navigate but great fun.
So, not only my first forum ride but also my first ever group ride, which is part of the reason I adopted the lantern rouge position, hopefully I did not annoy or endanger anyone out there, group riding skills & etiquette is something I will have to build over time.
Looking forward to
@nickyboy Llandudno run now so lot's of training miles to get in as any kind of incline is finding me out !
