I rode for you last night daz.
Some people have lance as their motive...I have a guy called Darren Holloway who I ride to the death for.
Well...after spending about 1hr30 watching all the cervelo videos on youtube whilst my tea digest...I decided I was going to ride hard!
I didnt go far, and I didnt really know where I was going.
I decided to get the ribble out, and fly round a 6 mile loop I have, with a few short sharp climbs and a couple of fast descents to get some speed up. The roads were soaked so I was abit cautious on a few bends...but I gave it everything I had.
I had a head wind for half of it and my legs were dying...but I managed to do the 6 miles in just over 17 minutes.
I then headed onwards up my local steep hill, crying out for for a lower lowest gear...I was literally shouting trying to get up this hill - thankfully there was only a few sheep about to hear me in the darkness.
The hill finished my off, and destroyed my average speed for the ride.
10.84 miles in 32:47 - ave 19.8
I managed to average 21.1 for the 6 miles route.
Doesnt sound very good on paper...but I gave it absolutely everything and I dont think Ive ever riden as hard....I even threw up in my mouth climbing the hill...which was nice!
