Torturous Hills

6 of us cycled to Stratford on Sunday over 40 miles of flattish ground. The day was warm and the ride was fairly easy.

But Graham had an evil idea on Bank Holiday Monday! He took us over torturous hills covering 42 miles. (Graham is our excellent coach & sage.) We started with a full 7 man crew, but Steve left us after 21 miles. His excuse was 'I got a rendezvous', but maybe he just couldn't hack it?! (Sorry Steve.)

Liz's chain came off going up those steep hills. Brian was a hero succeeding where 3 other male cyclists failed and got her chain on. (There's a joke there somewhere.) Liz cycled past me at the start of a steep hill saying 'girl power', but I was gracious when I cycled passed her walking at the top of the same hill!

We were joined at The Norman Knight & brewery by Sarah & Rosemary. We had a delicious hot soup & warm bread to warm us up. The day was cold & difficult.
