Needed to stretch my legs today for dull reasons including a massive lack of fitness, lack of bike time due to life / health etc and hopefully my participation in the Phoenix Easter Classic on Monday. So I was happy to be joined by some sympathetic types in the form of Sumo and Jaminroussel - who's new to this parish. I've ridden once with Sumo and have never met Ben before and needless to say we all set off into the wind quite tentatively from the Lea Bridge Road towards Essex, not wanting to leave anyone struggling and dare I say it all feeling our fitness somewhat.
Long story short - it was lovely. Little 40 mile roll around sunny lanes. It's been so miserable out there for so long and today I swear I could see further than I ever have across the SE English countryside. Just what the doctor ordered. Nice to meet Ben and always a pleasure to roll with Sumo. Next time we need to alocate some time for fish fingers and beers.
PS Sumo - Strava says we nommed up 1650 calories so Garmin is a liar. I want to believe Garmin though so I can eat all the foods all day!
