My first club ride for around 5/6 weeks and the first one I have felt ok following an unknown illness which lasted approximately 8 weeks. So it was good to be back. Joined Tim and Amy's 16's and we had a very steady ride. I was stronger than I thought and there were differing levels of fitness within the group which meant there where a number of splits along the way but we all got to the Pine in good time.
Would have liked to go to Box Hill to get the miles in but did not fancy it on a fixie.
[quote="Jon C C on a Bianchi"]Limped back home with Brian and Marcus. Even Marcus had had enough and left me on the golf course climb. Thanks, Brian, for getting me home. The worst few hours I've had on a bike in years. Perhaps the pressure of being Captain is getting to me!!
Sorry John
Going up there on a fixie meant all out or stop. So I didn't look behind and just tried to keep my speed up. You and Brian where not far behind me. Brian and I had a good run back to Coulsdon taking turns to do the work until we agreed we where both shagged and rode the bypass at a sensible pace.
I think maybe you are taking your roll as CRC very seriously, so I thank you for taking away my Lurgy and infecting yourself thereby allowing me to have a Leurgy free ride
It was great being back without the lurgy which had blighted me for so long
