I set off early this morning to meet Jumbly as I needed to pop into the bank first for Ali. Not long after I left the bank it started snaining, a new word for sleet/rain falling from the sky stolen from Jill. Jacket on and I continued up onto Winter Hill. It was hard going getting there and the mixture of slush and ice is the hardest thing I've ever tried to ride in, I ended up doing a lot of pushing. I was glad I left early as it was slow going and I arrived to find Jumbly with her cross bike, a tyre rim interface problem meant I'll have to wait another day to see her new singlespeed. We did a nice easy route staying quite low, which was nice as I was able to ride and not have to push all the time! Before stopping at lower barn for the compulsory cake stop!
Then I headed home, more pushing up the AICR, along Belmont Old Road and then just road on the way home. A nice ride and home for lunch.
22.26miles @ 7.4mph
I had another go with the tyre until my thumbs really couldn't take any more and then as soon as Glyn got in he did it for me! So a singlespeed ride one day next week for definite!
ReplyDeleteYay, look at your diary and choose a day - except wednesday - and we'll get it on the calendars so we are ready to go!
ReplyDeleteFriday?
ReplyDeleteThat's cool, I have dr's at 8:30am, so would be ready to leave by 9:30am so meet 11am again?
ReplyDeletesnaining, what an excellent word! and that looks more like scrambled egg than cake?!
ReplyDeleteIt was carrot cake, they had no chocolate!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great word!
ok, as long as there was some cake consumed ;)
ReplyDeleteOK Friday at 11. If Bottom Barn are out of choccie cake again we'll stop at the Chapel T-Rooms instead. Not wise to deprive a Trio of it's choccie cake fix!
ReplyDeleteI quite enjoyed the carrot cake for a change, does it count as one of my five a day?
