Feb 21st Milestone Day 2...

Well, never let me hope for nice weather again...!

It poured down today for Howard Terry and Simon's ride out...

50 miles with the first hour in a downpour. It got worse when Simon tried to beat Howard's 18 year old 9 stone (wet through) son Thomas up the hills for the King of the Mountain jersey. Simon lost.

Convincingly.

All improved after we headed out to Bramley and had a cake and coffee in a garden centre. 4 lycra clad vagrants made for a sorry sight...

We step up to 60 milers in March with Howard planning a beasting with 3000' odd feet of ascent.

Just need to work out how the damn GPS thingy works or it might be 80 milers...!

Hurrah! At least it will be good training for LEJOG!
