Yep!
Quick ride report: started off "shit, where's my sunscreen" and quickly became "shit, where's my lightning conductor/i wish this jacket was more waterproof/how am i ever going to dry my shoes".
There's a #chillestrideever couch half way up Holme Moss now. I should buy a framebag that fits:
The same photo every time:
Met a couple of riders from the Northern Roll crew on Holme Moss. They were a great laugh, doing their first audax. Ended up riding most of the route together. Took the whole thing easy after the rain, roads all looked a little greasy:
For a change it was nice to have some company on these type of rides. We dawdled at controls, stopped a lot to talk to other riders, enjoy the view, swap layers etc and ended up an hour past the final control cut off. Then it absolutely threw it down as we were riding back from Marple.
Still, one of the best days out I've had on a bike in a while. Now excuse me while I go burn my shoes.
