I did make some Bolognaise at lunch time and left it simmering all day :-)
Dave pitched up and we went for a very wet ride...
| 1700 |  | 9.1 | °C | S | 13 | mph | 1.6 | km | 1011 hPa, Falling | ||
| 1800 |  | 9.2 | °C | S | 13 | mph | 2 | km | 1010 hPa, Falling |
When we got to Little Somerford we turned south straight into the headwind, it was quite tough going...
My problem was that I got stuck into the fight, head down and started powering along, I checked every so often that Dave was on my back wheel....and he was..........then he wasn't....
I slowed the pace a little to ensure that he could stick with me....I must realise that not everybody has been cycling all year...
The Garmin had the ride as 25.73 miles in 1 hour 40 minutes with an average speed of 15.4 mph, route here...
When we got back home, after a shower and change we tucked into a well cooked spag bol and garlic bread :-)
I REALLY enjoyed tonight's ride, it was great to get out and chat with Dave, it was also good to see how far I have come since the last time I cycled with him :-)
I am starting to think that I may be a real cyclist now......

The rides you enjoy are the best ones of all......Having dinner ready is a bonus
Just remember your milage when I'm pedalling Brum NCR5 wit you!
@Buttsy...I think I enjoy all the rides I do :-)Its always the thought of going out in the rain/ice/snow that's the killer, once I am out I just lose myself in my thoughts :-)
@Clive...Ahhhh don't fret I will NOT be racing...I will have a long way to go with a bike with LOTS of rolling resistance...
It's great when you can get out and really enjoy a ride, makes all those snowy / icey ones seem a lot further away!
Don't worry Clive, I will do my best to slow him down for you from Oxford ;)
