Nearly off and then some speed

Out again this morning - this means 7 days ridng in a row.

We just did a 25 mile loop around Norwood edge and the Washburn Valley reservoirs.

We took a few interesting side roads - past Dob Park and then back via Low Snowdon.

First time on both roads - a couple of great roads!

On the way down from Low Snowdon, I nearly came off on a tight, twisy, manured-splattered road! I was off the road, on the verge, through some rocks and then managed to pull it back on to the road and keep going without even unclipping. A little scary but all part of the fun.

On the way back from Askwith, we built up some speed and raced along. El Cid came from nowhere near the end and left me for dead with a fast turn of pace. Actually, when I say he came from nowhere, he had been sheltering behind me, Cacophony and Marat(?) who had been doing big turns on the front driving the pace. All great fun though. A plesant Latte at Costa rounded off a lovely start to the weekend.
