Today's Bike Ride

[Hanneke]

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.

You have reminded me of that before

I have no time, seriously, and I am also rather claustrophobic, I don't like going underground...

I fully remember last time I mentioned it, you got abusive and "offered me out" at the 3 peaks X.

Its just that given there are such few caves in UK you live near some of the best. I used to drive for 3-4 hours to do some of those caves, you just don't know what you are missing.

Indeed, I don't know... and with a bit of luck, because of all that palaver about caving a while back, we will both be doing the 3 Peaks Cyclo-x in September... I will buy you a beer, no matter what

[Hanneke]

By the way, you were the ne who started the abusive stuff, I seem to remember, accusing me of being some fat bloke... without nadgers...

When we eventually meet you will see that I am the total opposite of a fat bloke

[Ady In Accy]

A ridiculously hot & humid 75 miles out to the coast and back inland to the Priory cafe at Scorton. Brisk pace with 12 riders to the cafe at 20mph average. 6 of us opted to return via the Trough which began at a very social pace and ended up with a sprint up the climb and a road race to Dunsop Bridge. A little bit of sense was seen and the remainder of the ride was pretty steady. Still close on 19 average when I landed home. Not having had enough of 2 wheels I went for a 90 minute blast on the motorbike. This heat is great for grip but gets you very hot & sticky under the collar.

I could not begin to match Ady's speed and distance.

Went to do the club charity hill climb. Took my old mountain bike to leave at top of hill so I could cycle down at the end. Then met 2 club members who were going to cycle up and down then run back up, so did that with half inflated large off road tyres. My back hurts now - could this be related?

[Stagger]

I agree with AS, not in your league Ady.
Just done 15.75 mile in 62.15 mins. Average was 15.2mph.
1500' ascent in to a the westly breeze.
Knackered now but at least I'm out and sweating

[Hanneke]

A swift hour on the TT bike... found it hard to hold 25 mph...

[Wheeze]

Very obese bloke

Close. Very close!!!
