We have all had the 'toppling over while clipped in in an embarassing and ego bruising manner' Stagger
Had an amazing ride this am, on the clubrun with a local cycling club... did 100 kms in just over 3 hours... as they dragged me along with their A group. Apparently, I am the first person and most definitely the very first woman to have survived this unscathed, as they really rip your legs off if you go with them for the first time AND with the fast group LOL!
Serious cyclists, but also very social and lots of fun

Recovery ride yesterday was a revelation... It was actually quite hard to ride so slowly that the HR was below 130... so pottered around at 24.4 km/hr average for about an hour.
This morning I rode nice and steady, took in a couple of decent climbs.. about 45 kms in 1.45 hrs Bit cold and misereably wet, but feeling good. Base building going quite well

Today was much sunnier and warmer in East Lancs than the Yorkshire Dales! Got my Dales fix in this morning, around 65 miles up to Horton-In-Ribblesdale. 2 of us came back via Settle and pushed hard all the way back to Read where we went our separate ways. No stats, still on the winter iron with clean bars.
Did a ride with Christopher Leigh yesterday or was it Graeme Obree, he chose not to put his 67 tooth chain ring that he had had specially made on for the ride. I will will reserve my right to cast judgement at this present time, I have directed him back to the forum an we're out again next week (he is a much nicer character in person).
