First warm(ish) ride of the year, taking advantage of a 24 hour weather window, between yesterday’s gale force gusts with heavy rain and tomorrow’s gale force gusts with even heavier rain !
64 miles and 4222 feet of elevation.

I really enjoyed that ride today 
The usual EBs group ride but for a change mild and although it had been damp overnight it allowed me to wear thinner gloves which psychologically made me descend better.
I sat on the front to the cafe where we were joined by another couple of mates who had been training for race season and I let them drag me to Kings Cliffe. One of them pulled off there, so I was back on the front to the pub. The solo 12miles home after the pub was surprisingly fast despite being half and half head/tailwind.
The bike needed a bit of a clean when I got back 😂

the final velo moira club ride , a big turn out before the club disbanded as the founders found it too much to organise given the range of abilities all vying for a ride .
only 20 miles to the cafe where we all we treated by the boss then a heart-warming fare well speech where everyone cheered then parted ways , some went on to do more miles but i was running on coffee and sugar after working late shift last night so i was not up to a big ride today .
The plan is to continue with the core members as a non formal club via whats app group .
34 miles for me and a sense of loss .

By the time i'd done the food shopping and taken my daughter to trampolining today, there really wasn't much time left to squeeze a bike ride in before i had to make dinner.
So just 25km or so, zig zagging across the North Downs to achieve three climbs. Lovely sunshine; chatted to guy as we climbed Box Hill. He'd been all the way to Arundel abd back; i'd come about 7 miles. And he was faster

Seriously lacking in miles this year. Rode just over 40 miles around the Cheshire Plain, nice to be out. Dark by the time I got back. Have lost a bit of speed, but to be expected given my abysmal mileage in 2025. If nothing else it's a start.
