A wonderful ride last night with a really great group. Nice pace set, although I could have done with a bit more top-of-hill waiting to regroup.
It felt great to be back out on TNRC, with some old guard faces as well as the current stalwarts. That was the first time I've ridden over 20 miles for well over six months, and I don't commute any more either. I was dead chuffed to get round and get round pretty well. As a geared bonus, it seems to be a route that has more descending than climbing, which is a treat.
Bad luck to Chris and Will for the crash, but I'm really glad that it wasn't a lot worse. Hearing the call of 'car back' followed by the sound of a crash really put the fear into me. Luckily the car was an observer only.
