How was your weekends riding?

[killiekosmos]

I spent Friday night looking out stuff to wear on Saturday morning. Up and out quite early but it was colder than I planned and the wind was stronger than expected and I was feeling below par (that's all the excuses) so instead of the nice 30 mile loop over Eaglesham to Newton Mearns I chickened out and took a short cut and just did 20 miles.

I spent the rest of the day in the garden, pointing walls and cutting grass.

Sunday afternoon was much better, having done all the chores on Saturday I got out on the bike and tried out a new route of around 17 miles. This let me chalk up a total of 500 miles on the new SCR 2.

I rode my new (old) MTB back from the LBS on Saturday complete with new SPD's, then spent most of Sunday belting round Dalby Forest with my 8 year old son. The mileage wasn't huge (about 15 in total) but we had ace fun.

I rode the Oxford to Cambridge ride. 89 miles. It took for ever this year because of a strongish headwind which was present all the way. It was a miserly 12mph av. nearly seven hours in the saddle. Last year i completed the ride in 5 1/2 hours. I had better start training for next season now.

club run of 45 miles. plenty of time spent at or near the front so quite pleased. last 5 miles in agony due to pain in my right knee (down to walking speed up the most innocuous of rises).

better now, mind

That sounds like a pretty punishing route, ChrisW...

I did a BHPC race at Curborough on Sunday, and was satisfied with sixth, since I was only beaten by riders with more exotic machinery or considerably fewer years

Out with the Kingston Wheelers...lots of younger guys to pull me along and cake at Box Hill of course...
