Sam... Your squealing did not add to the stunning scenery : P
Now, back to the ride.
Thanks to Bill for the initial heads up. That was a superb day out on the bike. Shame we lost Wools n Skully et al so early. It was great to ride with everyone else. The navigating was, as Skully mentioned, relatively easy thanks to the superior crib sheet. The climbs were fun, the weather as good as it could be and the views were absolutely majestic in places. I hope damo and Gotti's bruises are a testament to that sneaky-ass ice patch. That can't have been nice at all. Great skidding from jonny on the completely covered downhill after the 1st major climb. I wish I'd video-ed that, if only to show Sam what could be done on an OLMO. I saw a kite too, pointed it out to Skive, who was totally under-whelmed, and apart from that only really saw sheep and the odd dog. One in particular got all up in my face - ha!. Props to vello for digging in when the legs were cramping up, Olly, who blasted the final 10km with me and all those that did it fixed. i think it was the better option in the conditions. The tea and cakes at the end were much needed. The entertainment provided by sitting nr the toilets on the train home, not so much.
All in all, a brilliant start to the season.
