The club run.

on this lovely sunny day... or rather after failing to go on all the
sunny sunday i chose today... to go for my first club run, i really
enjoyed it, hard work holding on to the pack up hills, prob a
combination of not used to the pace, and the mountain bike being a bit
heavier.

Bet the pack found it hard work to pull away from that nutter who did the
club run on a mountain bike

heh no, though hills where i felt it. on the flat, wasn't a problem. i
have no dought they could have gone faster, but it was the club run not
an all out burn.

I've still not had the bottle to do any of the local club runs. I did,
however, today go on my longest ride in a good ten years.

31 miles all in and a good couple of hours. I was glad on the way to
Chipping to have dressed in my new windproof top as the ten-ish miles to
Chipping were achieved in defiance of a strong headwind, which not only
put the kibosh on plans to attempt Jeffrey Hill, perhaps fortunately,
but also was biting to the extent that my ears hurt.

I've now twigged that although my bottom gear is about right, I could do
with a higher top gear.

Cheers,
Luke

i was tempted to turn around at one point as it was so wet and daft but
they bloody well turned up!

ooh looks fun.

ooh ow, luckly my pelt keeps me warm!

i tend to only use the middle and large ring. so far i tend to not
attaully need a higher gear, but then i probably no do tend to spin to
slowly.

it's certinaly fine until 30+ even then it's okay but close to as fast
as i want to spin.
