I've just got back, a pleasant if slow 50 miles in the winter sunshine, one of my regular routes over to the Hatton Locks cafe for a bacon sandwich and a coffee, I'm still feeling the effects of the lurgy I've just had so it was a slow and steady ride that felt like hard work and towards the end i was running out of legs. A lovely day for a bike ride, bright, sunny and a tad chilly, so I enjoyed the ride and I've got the first one after the lurgy out of the way, the rides should get a little easier now.

I'm sure we have a member who posts in this thread under the name of 'traindriver172' - or something very similar. They used to post several posts at a time.
Just realised they've posted nothing for a while. Searched the member list and nothing remotely like that name comes up.
Tell me I'm not imagining it. :surrender:

Nice to read that Dave.
I am setting next weekend as my first ride since October. No idea what I will manage as the leg is still numb and weak......I will try for 15 miles.
Funny but whenever I read about your Hatton Locks ride I have to check where you are as there is a Hatton Locks on one of my summer rides into Cheshire.

You are correct. He gave me some good advice on cycling around Puerto Pollenca last year.

I didn't realize there were more than one Hatton Locks, but it doesn't surprise me. The one I use is just outside Warwick and is only about 16 miles from me, its set in an area with a network of small lanes and its quite easy to work out a longer route there.
