My bike still looks like it's been off-roading (why did I buy a white one?)
Legs felt heavy this morning but the ride home was surprisingly good,even in the fog.
Thanks to fossy for staying with us towards the end when I was definately flagging,the last few miles home were a real slog.

I think you and John should be well chuffed with 60 miles, that's a big step up, and the average speed was about 15mph. Very well done

Thanks for a great ride yesterday, it was nice to meet some new faces and to ride with some of you who I'd met at the velodrome. Interesting route, good weather and excellent cafe stop.

Yes. i was happy with that. I've not rode that far for a while and suprised myself i kept on as well as i did. it's still the hills that wear me down though. Potsy managed them better than i did in the end. Was tired on the final ride home so i took it slow n' steady.

A fabulous day though. Maybe we could do it again?.. in the summer though.xx(

what about another ride between Christmas day and new year. Roads will be quiet and we could do a Christmas ride.
Any ideas on a Christmas route?

From the dinner table, to the lounge, then back as snacking is required.

Any good for you? It works for me each year. B):biggrin:
