t.o you inspired me
I just got back from Paris Chartres, 100km, just over sixty miles, hills and headwinds the whole way,
tough going in places as I am running 80 gear inches.
The highlight was visting Sheldon's former home at Chevreuse
The lowlight being the nylon thread in my cycle shorts chaffing at my delicates
They got so uncomfortable that I did most of that distance in jeans with nothing underneath
To go further I need decent shorts and a lower gear
route
having done 60 odd miles today 115 sounds a bit insane ;)
