A hilly ride?

We went out with our friends around Mossley and Saddleworth yesterday, in the hills. 
Unfortunately, I discovered that my brakes weren't quite as good as everybody else, and realised that I couldn't stop at the bottom of the hill, with a bus and two cars coming towards me.  Luckily, my friend managed to stop the traffic so that I didn't crash in to anybody - new brake blocks are required!

Anyway, our husbands dropped us and rode off, so we decided to carry on and do our own training ride instead.  20 miles, a few hills, and 1 hour 45 minutes later and we were back to where we had started.  I was quite proud of what we had achieved - we had done some real climbing and proper descending - it's definitely made me realise that I can compete next year!

Role on next season...
