August 2012


August started wet & horrible as the rest of the summer but things did get slightly better once the Olympics got going.
I met up with Andy (L2P 2011) in Stratford for the Gr8 Shakespear 100k ride on 12/8/12. Last year there was 800...this year there must have been 1200+ on the mass rolling start out into the wonderful warwickshire countryside. The route was the same as 2011 but this time I did tackle the big final hill..and what a lovely fast decent on the other side! A great ride & I hope to return next year (as long as it doen't clash with RideLondon100)
64.8m 4h13m @ 15.3mph 3926ft

Teneriffe
Whilst staying in Playas Las Americas I hired a crappy old 'Rockrider' cast iron girder gear slipping non-existing brakes banger of a bike!  Nice to get out & explore but hard work at 40degC!
About 70 miles @ about 10mph!
