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. <\/p>\n
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. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
