Big step today – back to Club!!
Today it was the MCC Ride to the Kentish Horse at Markbeech – a favourite Pub of ours. It was busy there too. I had an idea I would go with a slower group, but in the end you cycle with your mates, don’t you? We had a big group – 10 or 11 riders. Dave B was the ride captain for the day and had plotted a very pleasant route (not too hilly!!) out to Markbeech. It was very pacey though – we arrived at an average of 14.2mph, which is very pacey for us. Outbound it was 1700ft of climbing in 24 miles – so not flat!
We came back up Ide Hill…. Ugh Need I say more? Fabulous view from the top though.
That’s where Team GBR people whizz up and down to improve their fitness. It absolutely kills us !!
I was amazed I could do the outward run and keep up. Given that I had a fair amount of knee problems as recently as Sunday – this was very, very good. Planning to do the Giro de Capital in the Vale of Glamorgan in mid June so I need to get the miles up!!
