Where to?Ferry.
Where to?Ferry.
Well, I'm finally back in the land of the cyclist. 432 days since the accident and finally felt like trying to ride again. A tough 6.3 miles at an average of 13.8mph, not very far and not very quick but I did it on 2 wheels.The arm was a bit painful but I managed it, now to start slowly building up again. I need to work on my core strength as I lean on my hands too much, which is causing the pain in the elbow but it's a start.
Well done, speeds not too shabby either.
Thanks, as I've mentioned previously, it's like a billiard table around here, I did a 53 mile ride in August 2020, my home is 23mtrs above sea level, the high point of the ride was at 29 mtrs, I nearly needed oxygen at that elevation.

Knott End?Where to?
On our 'Flattish Seaside Century' forum ride earlier in the year, we took the little ferry from Fleetwood to Knott End. The tide was pretty much out so the ferry was sitting very low in the water. The crew had put a metal ramp up to the concrete jetty above where we were standing with our bikes and we had to pass them down one at a time to a burly sailor below. Once the bikes were safely on board, we had walk down the damp metal ramp at a 45 degree angle, while wearing cycling shoes. The inevitable happened and italiafirenze slipped and fell down into the ferry. Fortunately, said burly sailor caught him and prevented a faceplant on the deck!
