  • First ever ride with a club (Verulam), and first experience of proper sustained group riding. Surprising how much faster you can go on average in a group - this was a good 2mph faster than rides on my own or with one other. Was a nice flat route though.

    Edit: just read the posts above, seems I am a massive twat.

    How was it riding with Verulam? Friendly vibes etc? I was thinking of going along for a club run after meeting a guy who rides with them the other day, plus they helped organise the chiltern 100 which was great.

    Did the standard 65 (windy) miles in essex yesterday, plus an impromptu hill session with a mate doing loops of swains lane (for the first time) / highgate west this afternoon.

    Going down swains is terrifying, dodging dozy pedestrians / berks in 4x4s / speed humps etc. Going up isn't that bad really. Pint of leffe at the flask after went down a treat.
