Century ride Sat 8th 9:30am?

Post by Andy_Craddock » 02 Jun 2013 17:29

I was just wondering if anyone fancied a ride next Saturday. I missed out on the group century ride to Malvern that was put on last week ( I tried to catch them up with no joy) but am looking to do it again Saturday, to get some more miles in my legs for the Audax in a few weeks time.

If anyone is up for it then be great to ride it with someone, if not then ill be going anyway.

...and you kept your promise! Might not have enjoyed the wind on the way back though - how did it go?

Ride was brilliant, lovely route and nice to have good company this time, sure that I would have caught the group if not for getting lost last time.

Headwind was hard at times on the way back but we pushed each other along.

Will be planning to do this again in a months time and hopefully get a few more join us. I made a lot of improvements on my ride last time, either I'm getting stronger or the company helped. Either way it's a great route
