Pretty big weekend of riding for me, having barely ridden bar commuting for the past 8 weeks or so due to knackering my wrist in a bike / car incident on my way in to work.
Decided to tell the wrist to HTFU and went out for 50 hilly miles in Kent yesterday. Went reasonably well, wrist and legs didn't feel too bad....

....so I got all excited and got in touch with Tom (TTM on here) and we went out and did the 'Hell of the Ashdown' sportive route today. I felt ok for the first 40ish miles, then, the ride yesterday and general lack of bike time recently kicked in and the legs blew up. Que lots of wingeing and Tom feeding me chocolate to shut me up. End of the ride was pretty start-stop due to Tom suffering with a knee condition and me being a pathetic nodder. Felt great to be back on the bike though

Highlight of the ride was seeing a herd (?) of furry little pigs outside some ridiculously idyllic Kent farmohouse. Tom tried to stuff one in his jersey pocket to put in the over when he got home but I wouldn't allow it.
