Friendly riders needed Thursday 2nd May 2013 in West Mids

Looks like it was a great day for a ride. I would fancy joining you if you wanted to have another such event. McWobble would vouch for my sociability. Fridays are generally good for me at the moment.

And thank you for a pleasant jaunt in lovely countryside with convivial company. You certainly weren't responsible for my clipless moment - after breaking my left ankle last year I've been trying to retrain myself to unclip with the right... occasionally with mixed results! Funnily enough, I've never had a clipless moment when there hasn't been an audience!

You did well - I reckon we could up the pace somewhat next time. I'm not surprised you found St Kenelms Pass hard - it's a tough hill. Now you know what to expect, you'll be better prepared for a future encounter.

You didn't take him up St Kenelms Pass did you? Sadist!

Guilty as charged, m'lud. Well, I did warn him...

You'd be more than welcome on a future ride.

I'm just surprised I didn't stop more to be honest, I shall be ready next time!!!

I've been given the go ahead to go out on my bike a few times in the coming week due to me finally start work on the 13th may. Assuming we aren't moving house this week I can do a Friday

I've just googled which one was St Kenelms Pass, yeah it was a good test to see what my fitness was like, now I know what to work on. Although my brain wouldn't let me finish the last part unless I flew up at speed, I still went too slow!!

Friday ought to be okay for me. So is Thursday, come to think of it...

Sorry bit late on the reply, I obviously can't do Thursday as its currently 11.40am on Thursday and I'm tied up all day. I'm not sure about tomorrow yet, I will know later today.

I did manage to get out for 30 mins on Tuesday in the heat and improved on my 7 mile trip I've got near my house. The first time my average speed was a pants 8 mph but this time I got it to 13mph. Not bad start!

That's a very nice improvement. Keep it up!

Its an ok start I guess!! I did go for it straight from the start and the heat zapped all my energy, lesson for next time. I shall keep that route as a benchmark for fitness
