Not me screaming this time

A suprising message from Ali at lunch meant I went night-riding with her this evening. I was made to promise it wouldn't be too long or too fast and we headed out towards Winter Hill. After 3km I was asked if it was time to go home, I think she was joking! Met two lads on their way up too, one singlespeeding who asked if I was "the singlespeeder", I'm sure I can't be the only girl on a singlespeed around here. At the top of Winter Hill it was time for a cookie break before heading down. The snow has melted and left some slippy mud, I don't think Ali liked it. There were a fair few screams and part way down she agreed to go first - apparently I had gone a little fast. All that was left to spin along the road and then eat some food. At 13miles it was shorter than planned but just a lovely ride.

  1. Sounds like Alberto and I riding together just that it is usually me who complaints: too fast, too far ... LOL Great that you got a ride in after work.

  3. To be fair the hills here are all singlespeedable as they are not too steep. But I can tell I am spending less time in the hills as it is harder at the moment!
