Please forgive me cycling deities...it's been sometime since my last cycling thread post.
I confess to having been a little perturbed that some members of the rather too slow group ride I did today hadn't actually ridden on roads before. I couldn't understand why the ride leaders were insisting we rode junctions and traffic lights in a big bunch. I didn't feel safe in the bunches with folks who had no road-craft. I shall be giving constructive feedback on this.
To be honest I hadn't realized how slow the ride would be. Jeepers they were even slower than the Breeze ladies. At least now I know I've outgrown this level of ride and shall register on the much stronger Sky Rides from here on in.
I've joined a cycling club for the first time ever. Blackpool Clarion is a 'chapter' of a national club. I went out with them for the first time on Thursday. I knew I'd feel 'under-dressed' in both clothes and bike - I'm not a racing bike riding lycra warrior - but it was good to get out with other folks who take their cycling seriously. I was challenged by the amount of inclines we rode up but the lovely Sean stayed at the back and honked up them with me. I will be riding again next week.
What wheelie adventures have y'all been having?
