good ride out today

[adam23]

got up at 7 this morning and after my prorridge and bananas went out with a group ride of 5,
we rode some great rode around oxfordshire and done 51 miles in 2hrs and 51 mins (the joys of drafting).
and we also rode up white horse hill and i must say i wanted to die lol.
we got about 5 miles from home and cramp set in and it was torture and needed my friends help to get me
back with some good drafting i was in a bad way.
i have only been riding a year but must say that going out with friends for a cycle is just amazing and i love
this hobby so much i just wish i had done it sooner

Yes, lovely day today, did a nice 51 miles in Wales this morning and did a lote of climbing. The more this year goes on the more I am enjoying cycling, usually I don't get out on the bike til April/May time, but this year I was putting the mileage in during February and March and it is really starting to pay dividends now. I'm climbing so well at the moment, there was a nice climb towards the end from Tintern to Chepstow on the A466 that isn't steep at all, just a long alpine style drag on beautiful road surface and I was averaging about 14 mph with a train of fellow club riders behind me (slightly perplexed that no-one took a time on the front mind!!!).

The weather was nice as well and those tanlines on my arms get stronger by the week!!!
