Bike: Pimpino
Distance: 26 miles

Well that was freaking ACE! Bloody cold and wet but offroad blast on a fixed, rigid cross bike? Great! Really enjoyed todays ride. I should offroad a lot more than I do now. Might get by chameleon back down from the attic and start riding that next year, but which bike to put back up. If I could get my trackbike stored at the velodrome that would give me room for it but it’s a long waiting list I think.

On the pimpino I went down the ice cream run. Slowly, I’m a bit rusty. I passed to young lads sat on their DH bikes at the top and they rolled past me about halfway down like I was stood still. Mind you, we all passed a landrover going down the hill.

Anyway, very poor week for mileage, 51 miles only.  There’s a number of reasons for this, rain, work and a family bereavement.

Hopefully next week (I’m on holiday), will be better. I’m trying for a ride every day but we’ll see. The plan is to get my deficit down to zero by the end of the week but we know how these plans always turn out.
