Finally, a longer ride again. headed for a 'cobble special' with 12 youngsters (well most of them 20 years younger than me anyway). Bloody windy, but feeling better than expected so I found myself doing most of the front work. Got a pinch flat within the first 50 meters of the first (and not even worst) cobble 'secteur', (and stopped pedaling 5 seconds too soon to get the KOM on the worst of them, ha) fortunately I was the only one that flatted and that was the only time. All good fun, bit of a crazy twist & turn route though. The old rusty Gazelle with Campagnolo 10-speed did very well too. Feeling pretty knackered now but I have a Westmalle tripel close at hand to ease off the pain a bit, and I'm already looking forward to seeing a stormy Gent-Wevelgem tomorrow with my feet up!
