Thanks for that blue-eyed blonde. Yes I am a 'real' cyclist despite not being able to ride as far, as fast or up hills and lacking the disposable income to buy all the lovely kit that the folks at the cycling club have.

I'm in awe of the distances and the large events you ride in. The lady who's riding in every country...has she been to the UK yet? I would love to ride with her. That's a serious amount of people on the road for the Ragbrai, are ya'll riding in close proximity? Is that safe?

One day I hope to do the C2C and JoGLE. I'm not ready for either of them yet though. A more realistic aim is the Manchester to Blackpool ride in Spring next year.
Tonight was a Breeze ride. The women who ride on it are generally new to cycling so I get to help out up front whilst our ride leader keeps the inevitable back marker company at the back.

With the magnificent mountains of the Lake District to the North and the outline of lumpy bumpy North Wales to the South East-ish and a raging sea at high tide it was a dramatic view. It's a pity that my iPod can't capture the majestic mountains of the Lakes

After last weeks infection it was good to feel strong tonight. At the start of this year the inclines on this route (the longer version of which I do at least twice a week) seemed like major hills and I was really honking up them, even having to stop at times. Tonight however I flew up them and in bigger gears than I ever have. I'm sure the challenge of the Clarion club rides have helped with an increase in my fitness level.
