Sunday’s ACG ride was quite possibly a record breaker.  17 of us went for a ride.  17!  It would have been 19 if Helen hadn’t had a seat post bolt screw stripped thread sort of a problem which meant that her & t’other half had to bail before we’d even begun.  17!!!  As I was Ride Leader, I’d sorted my kind of route which was, predictably, fairly flat.  I’m not sure if that’s why so many people turned out, but it probably explains why it ended up being so fast.  Just for once we mostly stayed as a group, and just for once my legs were working, and so I had an absolute blast hurtling around as fast as I could, refusing to be dropped, or to be beaten by testosterone.  It was hard work, but man, I had SO much fun *grin*…

…almost as much fun as I had going down Cheddar Gorge this evening, having earned such hooligan-like behaviour since the only way to be going down is to have got up there somehow.  I may not have ridden it like I stole it, but maybe like I’d borrowed it without permission? 😉

I wouldn’t usually ride on a Monday, it’s my rest day. But I’ve had a few of those lately, and the sun was shining, and I had an open door… 🙂
