26 very wet miles on the fixed. So dull I needed lights. Only a few other loons out. Decided not to stay in and watch Utd. Must try that again.

30 miles around my usual loop. Wisbech-emneth-stowbridge-wiggenhall-terrington-walpoles-wisbech.
Theres two 30 feet climbs over the river ouse bridges, and then three 50 feet climbs over flyovers, so not all flat and boring,
although the old relentless fenland wind was still there, meaning while i could hold an easy 20mph one way, 14mph was the limit the other!
(I never draught ... that's cheating).

I led the club ride today, unintentionally as when we turned up at the start no one else was volunteering so 51 miles on the front for my stupidity, me and Mrs TF only ones on fixed and at one point on my not so clever route is a 2 mile climb. Now knackered and contemplating donating my tiny brain for medical research.

I hibernated at the end of November so I haven't ridden a bike for 7 weeks, but the local forecast is okay for tomorrow and I think it is time to re-emerge from my cave!

Don't ask me how, I realise it's a difficult thing to get your head around but, sometimes I forget I have no gears, couple that with the fact that I suffer from delusions as to my athletic prowess on a bike makes for an obvious disaster.

My first 40 today 
Planned it with a challenging hill in the middle, turned out to be more like a mountain! Still managed an average of 14.5ish! Not too bad for a laden hybrid I spose.

40 miles...I thought pretty fast along the A259 as I have changed my saddle position and I felt lighter...then this skinny roadsnake shoots past me at double my speed...holy %*$! how does anyone ride that fast??????
I guess he was half my age, size, faster bke, probably not ridden the 36 mile si already had, or even seen a hill right...likely full of energy pils or something as well...I'll keep telling myself that

The weather was gorgeous here for a change albeit there was a deceptive wind so I headed up to Vicars Bridge for a wee recovery ride (get Saturday/Sunday party out of my system 
) I had lights in my pocket but thought I'd step up the pace rather than stop to fit them. I needn't have bothered, its still light summer is here

A brisk run out this evening after the traffic had cleared.
My Mrs was off to yoga this evening so it was either sit at home gawping at the tv, working, doing paperwork or going out for an hour or so for a ride. The bike won out, so it was 20 miles on a cool dry moonlit evening.
