Since my legs are a little sore after yesterday’s jaunt on Shank’s pony, riding with Guy & Martyn today was always going to be an interesting exercise.  But it would be exercise and that is always what is called for.  Yes it is, don’t argue.  Besides the sun was shining, the skies were blue, they’d done a fair few miles before picking me up at a most civilised 10:00am, and would therefore hopefully go easy on me.  Which they did.  Most appreciated chaps 🙂  It was a short loop that, due to the vagaries of the festive season, did not include its planned coffee stop since Banwell Garden Centre was closed.  Which was in some ways just as well, as I’d got my layering just about right and didn’t really fancy getting cold and then having to warm up again just to get home.  So it all worked.  I worked.  Probably harder than I would have done left to my own devices, but not too hard.  And I got to ride my bike in the sun again.  A few more miles in the legs, all ready to fight another day.  Good times 🙂  Though my legs proper hurt now!
