Can I claim to be a proper cyclist now?

[Ice2911]

After 55km in the cold and rain this morning I was wondering whether I now qualify as a proper cyclist or just insane? Have to say I still enjoyed it. Set off in fine sunny weather at 9, even wearing my shades. Forecast was for rain about 12. Make that 9.45 in real time and after i was committed to The route. Another hour and a half later I was dripping in the hallway with my bike, which is still living in the dining room at the moment until I get a ground anchor sorted in the shed. Still loving riding my bike!

As soon as you hopped on your bike and turned a pedal...you're a proper cyclist.

Rocky Mountain and Ianrauk you are too kind. Up until today I was definitely a fair weather cyclist. I have to admit to getting addicted and can't wait for the next ride. A slippery slope I think

I agree you were already a real cyclist, but now you are entitled to say "HTFU" to anyone who dares whimper.

HTFU ? Can guess the last 3 but the h?

Well done on the 50 in foul conditions! Are you doing the CC 50 a month challenge?

Rule #9, for those that follow the rules..

Finishing a bad weather ride can be quite exhilarating

The rules are very stupid and infantile (reminds me of the minutiae of being cool amongst teenage girls), but you might enjoy reading them as warm up with a hot chocolate and a toasted cheese sandwich.

Ah, but do you shave your legs ?

Yes, hence the extra loop I did as I got towards home to make definitely sure I was over the 50

Could someone tell my clubmates this

Have you still got a car ? If yes then the answer is no.

Ah rule 5. Felt as though I have just been let into an inner sanctum

Silly wabbit. Shaving's for faces, not legs!
