Hill Wimp
Fair weathered,fair minded but easily persuaded.
Because im rubbish at hill climbing despite living on one. Mountains are just too scary and watching those TDF boys climbing made me feel faint.
Don't get me wrong Mountains are also beautiful but the thought of cycling up one oooooooonooooo

To try to overcome my hill phobia and in the spirit of all things cycling i have started reading on my kindle ( best thing invented since the sony walkman), The Chimp Paradox by Dr Steve Peters who is the mind man behind British Cycling. Its pretty good, ive just got to learn to train my chimp and ignore him telling me " whoa girl theres a hill that way, go the other way its 50 miles longer but its flat !"
Easy eh ?

Took a greasy bend under some trees a bit too fast on the way to work this morning...
The bike was fine though!
Going for the sympathy vote I see.

Took this on my phone today from very long range!
FYI, it's a Eurofighter Typhoon on manoeuvres this morning over Preston.
Although it might have been better in the mundane thread with this pic
Maybe this was the one that missed a glider by fifty foot, don't know if you read the story. The quick thinking pilot was heading straight for the plane but rolled under to avoid causing turbulence which would probably have downed the glider.

Not unless they've moved Preston?
(of course you're UK geography is not held against you Cycleops) 
Seriously though, I hadn't seen that story but GOOGLE came up trumps again.
I'll bet that was a real brown trouser moment, for the glider pilot in particular
