Brilliant pictures Steve ! It was a good test of stamina yesterday which has made me more determined to get out even more and beat those big hills.As i have already said,good company and spirits considering the battering we got from the weather,my clothes are still drying out !
I also found out i had my first P*n#ture from the canal tow path,nice shard of glass which held enough air in till this morning !!!

 

[I like Skol]

my clothes are still drying out !

My shoes are still on top of the boiler and slightly damp. I hope they are dry for my ride into work tonight.

We can do the ride all over again in summer

It looks fairly flat there! Could you not have stopped at the steep bit to get a snap?

Crikey, sounds a bit extreme. If you stick at it you're not coming out with me again, you'll be superhuman!

At least we won't have to wait around at the top of hills for long though..

Skud-that is a bloody big ask, 84 miles Where is the college?
