Today's Bike Ride

[Stagger]

Biked to work this morning, got soaked to the skin.
Dry and misty when I left home, bouncing down with rain in Keighley
Still thats 19 mile in the legs this morning with same to come this afternoon

[Toffer]

Had to go out today after yesterday's monster session just to see how the legs felt after being in bits yesterday evening.........and the answer was surprisingly ok. Did 40 up to Col du Llanwonno and back, monstered up the climb feeling good, only when I turned round did I realise why it had felt so easy, solid headwind all the way back
Now dessicated, perhaps I should have a beer, though it is a tad early.....

[Hanneke]

Do you need to do any work tonight? No? Then have a beer

[Stagger]

Well thats my second 19 mile of the day and I got soaked to the skin again.
No worries though because the loving Mrs Stagger had my tea ready

It's after midday - what's yer problem..

[Hanneke]

Yesterdays bikeride: Just over two hours of steady hilleage, you know, of the type you find in the area between Monmouth/Grosmont/Raglan/Skenfrith/Abergavenny... My friend was well impressed with the hardness of the terrain out here...

Some more of that tonight. Perhaps Abergavenny/Talgarth/Llangorse/Brecon/Talybont/Llangynidr/Crickhowel/home?

[Stagger]

I'm not up with the likes of Hanneke yet but I'm on the ladder
54 mile (my longest ever by 10 mile)
5000' of ascent
Under 4 hr and averaged 14mph
Had to stop a couple of times to fill my water bottles, drunk over 6 litres of fluid.
Route was
Huddersfield
Honley
Hepworth
Crowden
Hollingworth
Mossley
Uppermill
Denshaw
and back home down the A640

[Hanneke]

Sounds like an excellent ride Stagger

I am not surprised you drank so much, it is swelteringly hot out there, which makes it even more of an achievement...

[Antisocial]

Its forecast to break here in a bit, hope it does, just off to a cyclo cross race and feel exhausted. I shall look forward to weighing myself tonight given the pounds I will lose coming bottom of the field again.

I can't believe you live near Crickhowell and don't cave, you have some fantastic stuff up there. You honestly don't know what you are missing.
