Decent morning in the saddle with Benj, HMS and 6pt. 60 miles of Essexyness. The sort of rain that can't be arsed but makes the roads greasy. One prostrate squirrel doing a good impression of a dead thing, one big crow with its lunch in its mouth, a slab of marzipan, a half a tracker, a nana, a pack of Rowntree Randoms and a coca cola / water mix in my bidon. I was up and down like a yo yo. I'm no rider and today I was even more sub average. This is always highlighted by the abilities of my ride buddies, but today was a different league thanks to the effortless lesson dispatched by 6pt. He big ringed it everywhere while I grannied every hill and was good enough to push me up one of them. Nose breathed all the way round and is presumably still out there having decided to throw another nippy 60 onto our ride as he hadn't had a work out. WAC ! Lovely to meet you mate, apologies if it was sedate, but if you fancy having the time to take in the scenery again then we must roll together soon. Benj and HMS - a pleasure as always.
