A gentlemanly pootler, these days

More by accident than design, I found myself having the best time in 2016 for a Strava segment on my former commute home (500 yards or so up a hill). I haven't been that way for a few weeks now, but occasionally I checked on it to see if anyone was knocking on the door, as it were.
Yesterday somebody obliterated my effort by 11 seconds.
I was expecting just to go "meh", shrug my shoulders and forget about it. Instead of which, I took quite a detour home to go and defend it.
I failed, obviously. But the gap's down to 7 seconds and I'm planning what marginal gains I can make to cut the deficit further.
I'm 49 and a half years old. I am very sad.

I'm taking the Cube over there on Sunday morning, tyres at 120psi, whilst wearing "race fit" kit and shorn of the heavy backpack I usually have on going up that hill.Growing old is compulsory, growing up isn't.
Not sure whether or not to shave to reduce weight a bit more

It will be muddy. The goal is to make the cafe on the Canal at Higher Poynton.
This might be my first ride since my accident. I'll have to see how I feel in the morning as I've overdone the 'mobilising' the last couple of days and am stiff and sore. Popped a slow release morphine tablet tonight !

Now don't rush it, take your time, slow and steady is better than rush and a set back.

Is that the stabilisers that he lent to you? Is it time you returned them to him?
