Today's ride was the first ride back on the flat after staying in Haworth over New Year. Funnily enough, the ride seemed pretty easy after last week's attempts - well, there are no 1 in 10 climbs for a start! However, it must be said that there seemed to be more idiots on the road around here than over the border, mainly people telling us that it was illegal to ride two abreast on a (quiet-ish) road. Interesting!
I must admit that I am enjoying this bike riding malarkey now - years ago it seemed like a bit of a bane, training more or less every day, but I think the break has been a good thing, as I am looking forward to going out on the bike at the weekends - something that I didn't really do first time around. Maybe being a bit older gives you the ability to appreciate the finer things in life, who knows?
Anyway, I've now applied for my racing licence, which I'm waiting to receive from my new club's secretary. I can't wait to start racing again - I'm so excited, especially about doing the crits - there wasn't that many of those when I used to race, it was more long distance road racing, but I loved riding crits because they're so technical! I can't wait!
In the meantime, I just need to keep on top of this chronic fatigue. I've only got one more reduction to go before I'm off the Lamotrigine completely, so fingers crossed, everything will be top banana in 2011!
