Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Just back from another 17 mile bimble. Very hot and sweaty and I had a visit from the P fairy. It was all right though as it was only flat on the bottom ^_^

Just about managed to get enough Co2 into the tyre to get me the last 5 miles home. I have slime in my tyres.

And I lost the outer cap off my tyre as well. :angry:

@welsh dragon - lovely views.

Well I'm made up. 66 miles. 17.8avg. To the official ride end - our meet point - a g was 18.3. My head was good. HR 121avg. This is all very good news. I'm not obsessed with stats but need to watch them for my health.

Very hot and sweaty. 30C much of the time.

The icing on the cake was passing a very good friend walking her dog as I was riding home. Stopped for a good natter.

Got 28 in on the Pennnnnine way (Classic, does that make up for the Ns I missed ^_^).
Boy it was hot toward the end and really hard work in parts as its full of potholes and muddy patches where the tree canopies keep the sun off.
At one point while we were crossing a road, there was a road cyclist with FOUR water bottles. Two on the frame and two behind the seat......I wonder how far he was going.
Chilling off now with a cold Newcastle Brown.
