Back on the saddle today for some of us who were able to get out this afternoon to brave 30 degrees lower than we have become used to. Add in Cleeve Hill and you might get the sense this wasn’t going to be the easiest of cycles. With numb fingers, toes and a fair amount of shivering, we set off for a ‘quick 20 miles’.
It could have been quick but a coffee stop before climbing Cleeve Hill appealed to us all and we found ourselves seated in the aptly named ‘Old Codgers Corner’!
Caffeine-fuelled, we each made it up and down Cleeve Hill in record time, arriving home before dusk settled in. We were pleased that Rory joined us Old Codgers and we know many of The Cyclopaths would have joined us if they could. I think it’s fair to say, we’ve all got the cycling bug and are determined to retain the fitness levels we have achieved. Having spent a small fortune each on our summer cycling kit, it now appears we may have to do the same for a winter cycling kit!
Never yet seen without a smile on his face!
