Woke up this morning with a plan to leave Marin car park at 10 30... combinations of delays an lazyness means we leave at 1 00!!! do first bit of Marin with the plan to ride 50km -manage 500m when collegues Pedal started to fall off and crankarm came loose, So we ended up doing.....10km!

(gave up an sessioned the last hill a bit with our newbie collegue - got jumps sussed for myself too!!!)

    those are the most rubbish days out ever arent they.

    but at least you still managed to get out and have some sort of ride , which is better than no ride at all.
    silver lining and all that.

    I planned an epic ride out across Bodmin moor today, but ended up doing the Camel trail with my 9 y/o daughter.

    As long as you broke it up with a Pasty in Padstow, i'd say that that was an excellent way to spend a Sunday afternoon!! :wink:

    It was'nt so bad, First nice day we ve had in N Wales for 2 months or so, so sitting in the sun drawing pics of switchbacks in the mud was pretty good in the end

    Sounds like my day yesterday. I finally left the house very late, and ended up doing the Marin. But I had one of those rides where I just didn't "get" it. I had no energy at all, and was struggling far more than I should. Probably cause I hadn't eaten all day.

    Do not, I repeat DO NOT go there on a Sunday, especially when it's raining.
