[Chap sur le velo]

The good news is I’m riding more regularly again. 7 Rides this month(only the 2 qualifiers in October!).



Points earners



81.5Km for my 50mile ride. Didn’t fancy rush hour roads so headed to the track beside the Olympic Velodrome. There are few straight bits and equally few totally flat bits, so despite doing more than 40 laps its still a joy to just RIDE on smooth surfaces with no cars to worry about or junctions to stop for. Windy and not so fit therefore not so fast, but I really enjoyed it – which I guess meant mission accomplished.
