Hello gang! As you know , I mostly do short rides of between 20 and 30 miles with the occasional longer ride when the mood takes me. What I really want to tell you is what gives me a kick on my rides. On the cyclepath to Rhyl, there is a short but steep gradient both ways ( maybe up to 100 metres only). Very often I see youngsters walking it although they usually have mountain bikes with better climbing gears than my road bike. I really get satisfaction to ride it and pass them pushing their bikes and puffing, and I am 50 years + older than them!!
Obviously, I wouldn't be able to keep up with
@Mo1959 but then again, she is a proper cyclist.
