the recovery

[markg0vbr]

i am back home, now a sun-bronzed Greek god. had a good week touring, landing at York rally on Friday after a fast ride from grassing ton
there was a bit of a problem with the stunt i was waiting at the hot air balloon launch but the rest of the team could not get out of there pits! i wiil be up loading the logs from some of the biger rides i did including the famouse day of the hills with a semi broken derailer cable while shedding spokes, you will be shocked, amazed and dlighted by the story of byegad how is able to take part in a organised ride intermittently he sets of with every one but just sort of turns up here and there.

Mark is not telling the whole truth! The balloon was there on Sunday Morning and he was nowhere to be seen I think he was inside the Minster claiming sanctuary.

The race ride I was partly part of was one I'd done before at York, but never at that pace. I know for a fact that several other riders were 'lost'. At least I was back on the Knavesmire at the same time as the leader, thanks to a bit of creative routing on the way back!

Thanks to Mark for persuading my Garmin to do the job!

i will lone you the tin box from off my pantry, they are very good with the technical stuff, the constant chatter can be instructive at times but it always starts drifting toward mayhem and world domination. Ponting out in a clear assertive manner the device is hilly likely to receive a sound thrashing if it dose not do as it should some times helps as well.

as you can see from the track of the ride it was at a very sedate pace, but instead of a sweeper they wear using the bolt gun on straddlers so people just tended to jump over hedges or lay down in ditches if they dropped back, having the track log and ride sheet in-front of me i am convince they have nothing to do with each other, they were a bit esoteric to say the least.
"At least I was back on the Knavesmire at the same time as the leader, thanks to a bit of creative routing on the way back!" perhaps this was more to do with you ability to track real ale by sent rather than the nagging box

i think it is time to start sorting out my difference in leg length re the trike so i will have to look in to getting a 1/2" shorter crank on my left side or a built up peddle, also possibly elliptic chain rings on the 24t and the 42t.

Mark do you have a log of the Saturday ride? I'd like to compare it to some of my local rides.

 

[markg0vbr]

http://ridewithgps.com/trips/293744
i get a average speed of 11.5 over 33.8miles

 

[byegad]

Yes. Not a bad pace for a Slow/Medium ride when you factor in the number of stops on the way out. Zero!

I'll be going on another route next year, even if I have to plan it myself.

Yo Cosmo,
question on the street is;

"is there a recovery ?"

 

[markg0vbr]

well i had my first physiotherapy session today and had some twinges, still keeping up with the exorcise and i go and get mesured for my leg longer thingy it is sort of a strap on, thing to make my short leg not my short leg but the same as my not short leg.........er i think. i did a bit of stick free walking at york and things are slowly getting better, and keeping my fingers crossed that it is going to join up.

...edit...still keeping up with the exorcise ...edit...

Well that should chase the demons away!
