Exhausting Cycle


Nine of us set off from a layby on the A38 for a 35 mile Intermediate Ride on Saturday.  The pace was fast and the wind was extremely blowy.  Everything was going just fine until an hour into the ride one of the riders got a puncture - a large thorn through her tyre! Much hilarity and lots of help in changing the wheel and we set off again.  We had a stop for refreshments at Hillers Garden Centre before setting off on the return journey.  The wind had become even stronger and we were then riding into head on into it.  It has to be the hardest Intermediate Ride I have done so far and I started to lag behind towards the end.  As always the rest of the riders encouraged me to keep going and always have everyone's safety and health as their first consideration.

Looks like a meeting of minds to resolve the problem
