We had a great turnout for the road ride last night with a spectrum of speed category riders making good time on the 25 mile Lyme Regis circuit. Even with Nelly carrying 7kg in his panniers didn't seem to slow him down much! Alas there were no ladies in our number, although with an 'Adam' skin suit on show, I'm sure that was a wise decision - see pics and decide for yourselves.
Down on Lyme Regis beach we bumped into a group of stunt cyclists balancing and jumping between the breakwater rocks .. not for the feint hearted. There was a suggestion we show them how it should be done but with time ticking we needed to move on .. may be next time!
Weather was warm and sunny as forecast, and the golden sun set from the top of Trinity Hill a wonderful sight.
Oh yes .. and why was Nelly carrying 7kg of bricks in his panniers? Well it was not a (justified) rider's handicap, but he's in training for his June ride from Venice to Topsham for the Force Cancer charity. Read more here http://thenelly2014.wordpress.com
While I have to remember to power Garmin back on after a stop, as I missed a good few miles off my total distance here, I did record some very good achievements. 10 Strava segment PRs and at last, an AVP record on the Rous it down segment. The training continues.
