Tell us about your weekend ride

Thank you.
We had purposefully not got the paper in the morning,
so on getting home we had a 15 minute walk to ease our legs.

He then went: shower, evening meal, latest Big Bang Theory, bed.
So very tired, but with a sense of achievement.

He actually 'bonked' approaching 30 miles,
before we got back to Portobello Mkt for Malaysian cake at Makan,
and was demanding to go home by Tube.

We talked through nutrition and digestion,
relating it back to his school studies, and drinking enough water,
and as the freshly squeezed orange juice refreshed his brain he came 'back'.

I wanted him to experience this out 'on the road' rather than at the Hillingdon Track,
in front of his new 'clubmates',
as now he had been through it, he won't be scared of it the next time.
He did well to follow me the 14 odd miles home,
especially as our bike rucksacks, with 'London' quality D-locks and cables were also burdened with some fruit'n'vegetables, (8 kg for me, 6 for him).

Got to plan a +/- 75 mile day now.
