Go on then, let’s go for a slightly emotive response to all this. I ended up sitting on a train for three hours to Sheffield with a stranger called Jonny when I was supposed to be on a train with a bunch I know quite well. We talked about bikes and bike stuff for he whole journey. We both agreed that from our differing experiences of cycling that we’d both got to the conclusion that these days we only aim to go cycling if we think it will be fun. Yesterday lived up to being a really fun day of cycling. Some of TSK’s route was frankly not possible - but it was so thoughtfully designed that there were heaps of options for making different choices off the hoof to meet the needs of the group. A fair work of art. Someone said that Po mentioned he hasn’t been cycling all that long - for this to be his favourite day out on a bike yet makes all the aches and pains worth it. A fun day out with a great bunch of people, out tackling some climbs they maybe thought they couldn’t and humbled by some that are much too tough to ride over fixed for mere mortals. And Clement ate well throughout the day, which is great.
