Did a decent 100k today with Big Daddy Wayne at a good winter pace. Felt nice after being off the bike with injury and illness recently.
I have to say though - I had a sub 10% success rate with saying hello to other riders today. Sometimes when I ride in Surrey I wonder why people even come out on their bikes when they are having (what ostensibly looks like) a miserable time.
I really don't get it - when you race or train at the track and when racing TT's etc everyone is so friendly, and generally riders in club kit are friendly on training rides too (bar Dynamo) —*so what's up with all the game-faced sportivist/recreational riders FFS? If you're not enjoying it, then what's the point?
