Have a great weekend don't forget loads of tonic water with your gin

Your quite lucky with the cramps when I've had them my OH just lays there and laughs

Great to hear of your progress. As a relative newbie i still get these incredible highs when I see my progress over time. You'll be up that hill in no time and I bet the dog is really pulling the owner up the hill so actually he's cheating!

My OH is a sports physio and when I asked for a massage the first time I came in feeling stiff and sore from a cycle ride his reply was "why would I want to bring my work home?" He really looks forward to visiting times now as being in traction can be sooooo boring!

Another first......meeting up with hubby half way through his C2C. I was not on my bikeby the way lol.......

There was 4 of them riding it over 2 days and the 4 wags drove to Alston to meet them and stay overnight. We saw them first just before they did Hartside Pass. We drove up and had a coffee on the summit whilst waiting for them. How can anyone manage Hartside Pass.........holy sh*t! Then there was Crawleyside Bank. So steep. How do you train for something like that?

I received my sexy cycling knickers today. Padding where I need it.

I daren't ask hubby "does my bum look big in this" because even posh Spice's a*se would look massive in them!

But oooooo that cushiony feel, the squidgyness, the comfort. Well worth the fat a*se look!

I forgot to say about my commute home last night. Hubby came to meet me on his bike and we cycled home together. At the bank I said I couldn't get up, before I got off to push, he was cycling slowly beside me, but had his head down, as if hiding his face... I asked what was wrong and he said it was the first time he had been overtaken by a pensioner walking his dog and he was hoping he hadn't been recognised. HOW RUDE!

I just laughed so hard that I hurt my ribs. It took the wind right out of me and I fell off my office chair. The greyhound was most alarmed and is looking at me very warily now. Dear God, I am in agony. Please @CannondaleLady ask your husband to not mention dog walking pensioners out loud again, my ribs cannot stand it.

Love love love your blog/thread/journey. I have so been there, to the extent of struggling up a hill so slowly - past Herbie Hyde's house actually - and got a comment of the policeman, in the gateway about being able to jot down my frame number. Keep up the good work You are awesome.

Lots of dampness around this morning, pleased Im not cycling to work. Have a 3 day training thingy to attend through work, so commute by car Mon - Wed as the course is a lot further away and too far to ride. Hope to slot one in after work - oooerr missus (weather permitting - Im still a fair weather cyclist). I can't wait to try out my new sexy padded knickers.

How far - i.e. could you get dropped off at the course with your bike and cycle back??

 

[Cannondale Lady]

No one to bring me and no idea how to cycle home! If the rain clears up, I will go out tonight however. Plus, Im not sure my training colleagues would like the idea of me all sweaty and flustered if I did cycle in! (not sure if they have showers here).

 

[Yazzoo]

early morning - I never used to be a morning person - and still aren't if it involves talking to people - but I can get up early and ride on my own, nicest time of day for it usually!

 

[Cannondale Lady]

Well I tried on my padded pants last night! Oh deary me, its a good job I will have them covered up!
