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...
