Due to circumstances beyond my control I have been off the bike for nine days, so I thought I would get out this morning for a short spin to give my legs a stretch ready for the commute tomorrow morning.
So leave the house at 5.20am, only time available, in order to try a couple of, new to me, Strava climbs to see how slow I am, a 1.8km hill with an average gradient of 5.5% and a 1.6km hill with an average gradient of 5.2%
As I am riding out of town I see quite a few club stragglers, either sitting down or staggering around talking loudly. Reminded me of the days I used to do the same but very glad I grew out of it.
