The Thursday morning group ride is turning out to be regular thing. We set off as the usual group of girls and headed out to meet up with the usual two guys on the Wedmore to Wells road, so at one point this morning there were 6 of us. Luckily we dropped down to 4 almost instantly as two of the girls had to head back. Which is good as 4 is a far more manageable number, as well as taking up less road space and annoying less car drivers.

We headed off into Glastonbury and had a very pleasant coffee stop at the Rainbow Café there – a favourite stop. Shame I couldn’t afford any of their yummy cake – I had to beg a coffee from someone as it was having no cash on me. Mind you, I did need the coffee!

On the way out again, I was sitting at the front with one of the guys, (the pair of ’em are fast), pushing myself and keeping up fairly well provided I didn’t have to talk too much and could breathe! He asked if I’d been out Tuesday, to which I said yes as I had. He commented as to how I must be getting fairly fit now, getting out so often. I didn’t really have the heart to tell him that this is about as often as I usually get out and if I’m not out I’m in the gym, so this is probably the same fit as I always am…ie. pretty much as good as it gets! I think what he was really commenting on was how well I was keeping up at the time, which is nice, but I wouldn’t go getting used to it! *grin*

It was a pretty good ride, faster again which I’m always happier with than the slow rides, and fairly enjoyable. I was glad to get home again though 🙂
