23rd January Short Kettering CC ride

Six riders met at Sainsburys. Tom & Evelyn had a lunch meeting so a shorter ride was done. Out to Geddington, up to Great Oakley, Pipewell & back via Geddington. Nice little stretch of the old legs - turning cold again BOOOOO!
20m ?h?m @ 15mph
Heard that Simon is doing coast to coast......of the USA in April. Schedule looks gruelling to say the least..respect to that man...take care & stay safe. I'm sure you'll eat & DRINK well

16th Jan second outing of 2011 blustery sprint!

Watched the end of Watson's terrific innings at Melbourne & dragged myself out on a blustery but mild day.
Legs but stiff & 'rusty' - need to get some miles in before the AUDAX on 19th Feb
Tough stretch out through Rothwell to Harrington. Stuck with 2 fellas from Broughton into the headwind to 'farpoint' Then turned for home & flew along at 22+mph down through Loddington & home.
great to be out on Belle again, and out on Belle without various appendages freezing to death!! Roll on the Spring & some longer rides...
16m 1h5m @ 15.2mph

2nd January 2011 Kettering CC outing


hello 2011!!
Decided to make the most of the break in the frosty weather
In the event only David & Norbeth(?) turned up but they dragged me along at a good rate to Islip, up to Brigstock then around Corby via Deene & straight down the A6003 home!
Chilly & no wind, the old (nearly 52!) legs got a good workout
37.1m 2h19m @ 15.9mph 1548ft climb
