Little Ring v Big Ring

[GrumpyGregry]

Ah, you recognize the type from the mirror...actually a more realistic goal would be a 'Legs of Lead Goes West' type of ride without the dying feeling with 15 km to the end.

p.s. your sig line - shouldn't 'eye' be plural or hast thou been smitten in one?!!

Pacing, shadow, pacing. And a certain familiarity with the knowledge that those things which feel like dying aboard a bicycle are unlikely to be the real thing. Seriously though; any decent book on long distance stuff will have stacks of advice on how to do something like Legs of.... comfortably with beans in reserve.

I will remain monocular as per the Bard....

Or whether doth my mind, being crown'd with you,
Drink up the monarch's plague, this flattery?
Or whether shall I say, mine eye saith true,
And that your love taught it this alchemy,
To make of monsters and things indigest
Such cherubins as your sweet self resemble,
Creating every bad a perfect best,
As fast as objects to his beams assemble?
O! 'tis the first, 'tis flattery in my seeing,
And my great mind most kingly drinks it up:
Mine eye well knows what with his gust is 'greeing,
And to his palate doth prepare the cup:
If it be poison'd, 'tis the lesser sin
That mine eye loves it and doth first begin.

Pacing, shadow, pacing. .

Yes, pacing indeed. Know what this is about, just need the experience to put it into practice...and the fitness.

I always felt I would find CC an education but not in Eng Lit.!
