    4 riders, 1 blown sidewall,
    pace felt really slow today.
    0 pints of lubricant but 2x 750ml bottles of water

    and no tan

    Glorious day though.

    I didn't realise you lot up north had to cycle so far just to get a decent beer in.

    approx 8 metres (fridge to PC x 3)
    37 minutes
    1 1/2 litres of LiDL Gulpenstumbel Pils

    Knees look like they may have been out in the sun though it could be brake-block dust.
    Looking for a cycling buddy?

    "Decent beer" is not kept in a fridge. :lol: Lager might be but you said decent beer. :wink:

    Well, maybe Markyboy. Are you still wearing both strap-ons? :shock:

    As for the 120km ride - too fast and too early for me I'm afraid. Though I was tempted

    The 120k (& 80k) are fast and even harder now the weather has heated up, they start even earlier next week too! 5.30am :shock:
