Today's Bike Ride

[emmilou]

A hilly 40 miles, my first proper ride back. Confidence returning, though not sufficient to spark any pedals just yet. Only hit 42mph on the big descent to Blaenlechau(now there's a name lovely), bit of scaredy cat braking when in the past I might have let it go and gone for the big 50! I wonder why.....
Wrecked now though, gonna have to drink beer!

Good going Toffer roll on friday when I can actually get on my bike for the 1st time in a little (ahem ) while....can't wait.

....and exactly what is your excuse for this parlous state of affairs?

It is a very sad state of affairs but soon to be rectified..... no excuse really other than life in general

she cannot be arsed to pump the tyres up

As you well know I do indeed pump up my own tyres unless you're offering to do them for me.... in the sombrero

What a day to be out and about! 16 of us set off and with the help of a tailwind, we flew through the lanes out to Longridge and Garstang at a rapid rate of knots. Here I peeled off and headed through Scorton and through the Trough Of Bowland, Dunsop Bridge, Whitewell, Little Switzerland, Bashall Eaves and back to Whalley and home. Fantastic clean, dry lanes with a low traffic volume made all the more pleasant by clear skies and sun. Cracking ride, probably 70 miles and 4 hours.
