Weekend Ride part 2......

As Chris has already mentioned, Saturdays ride was quite a tester with the heat & the hills. I have to agree with the boy (although i hate to admit it) that it was one of the best ride outs we have done. Had quite a rewarding feeling at the end even if I did fell like I was going to be sick once ot twice!It started at about 3 miles out when Chris attacked a short climb, his cadence must have been about 150 and he looked like he was riding a turbo charged hamster wheel. Things settled down after that but I reckon that was because he was trying to find his heart that had popped out earlier. The hill that took us up to the top of Clent was a beast. It was probably about a km if that but the gradient was...well, you had to be there....

Onto other things and the addition of a new team member. Bob has joined us and guess what, another mountain biker. To be fair, he will ride any type of bike he can get his hands on and is a currently taking part in a 24hr endurance race.

I would like to say thank you to Torq Fitness who have agreed to give us energy products at a good price. Torq supply all the usual products but also act a Performance Consultancy. Matt Hart is the main man & a nice guy so click on the following link to look at what they have got to offer, oh & mention us when ordering.. http://www.torq.ltd.uk/default.asp

Finally, I'm off on holiday in a weeks time to check out some French property but I think I have convinced my other half to let me take my bike so I can keep up the training. I can only agree with Chris (not again) that it is a far friendly cycling country than the UK.
