Nice ride today. Just beat the thunderstorm home. 120k to Stokenchurch via the Chilterns (some hills). The scenery was awesome – it’s so green out (weeks of rain has advantages) and we took roads that were placed on the side of hills and open to look over the small valleys.
The club runs aren’t competitive at all (they don’t even have a regular sprint point the cretins!) but the last couple have seen Steve and myself have little digs up some of the hills. Good fun but I really think I should give the faster Quest bunches a try. They might burn me a leave me in the middle of nowhere but I’m looking for a faster ride. It’d be a pity to leave behind the friendly club run crew though. I’ve been told the fast bunch does about 50mi on Sat and a 60-70mi ride on Sunday. I could do the Sat fast bunch and Sunday club run.. and poor Mal becomes the true “cycling widow” as me Mum put it. 🙂
Or enter some races on Sundays 🙂
Oh, do you fancy coming along to do a 3/4 crit with Richard and I tomorrow? More Willesden riders the better…

I don’t have a license. Bit short notice too. I’d be off the back in a lap! :S
Oh, OK. I’ve had a licence knocking about for a few months but haven’t yet used it.
It was short notice for me too, I was press-ganged!
I’m apprehensive about racing again and I’m already at a limit with free time on weekends (according to the gf anyway!).
‘course I don’t have any pressure being applied to me to race, unlike you it seems 🙂
