Popmpey?

That's a good ride, ends with a bitch of a climb though i reckon.

Is L London? And where is P?

Paris, usually 3 days 100 miles a day.

A good ride.

Thanks all

I will lean the phrase by heart just in case and try and remeber which side of the road I need to be on!.

I think my knee rather than the bike is the problem . New bike a lot more suitable and feels better after one or two adjustments . Am trying tp keep in an easier gear when I can .


Rode home from bike shop yesterday and cycled for a while with a chap from Huddersfield who was very encouraging then managed to get to the top a hill that I have never managed to get up, without stopping, before . Today did a steady 20 miles with a friend who has bought a bike recently I like to think in part to my non stop chatter on the subject.

I am never going to be the fastest but good to be reminded it isn't a race .

It has changed my life in someway already as i am riding for the Huntington's Disease Association a disease that killed my grandfather , my uncle and my mother and is now affecting my sibling . I also have a 50% risk of inheriting the disease yet up until this bike ride I had never spoken about it to even my closest friends.


Once again thatns for the support .

I've just realised how old this thread is, so Jacqui, how did it go...3 years ago?
