Mum, Mark & Daisy also joined us.. As ever it takes us ages to get things ready, we me rushing about since 07:30 and Marie trying to get the kids ready we just made the 10:00 meet time. Fitted my bike with a new computer so I can track the distance and speeds.. I now how my phone and this so should get accurate readings.
Its a lovely sunny day and Virgina Water was absolutely packed.. Never seen so many people there. I suppose if you get these good weather days in Feb people take advantage..
Anyway after I have the bikes off and built the trailer were off, I did ask Marie to get a photo for the blog but she forgot.. Will be going out this weekend and will remember to do one.
So as it was so packed the first couple of K were very slow. We had to weave in and out of people. It's funny that we were all moaning about the walkers getting in the way but I bet if we were walking we would of moaned about the cyclists..? :-)
After a while the path cleared and the rest of the cycle was great. A really nice wide road that took us down a large hill for about 5 mins. I got up to 49km/h on the bike.. At this point I noticed my chain is sagging. Might need a good oil I have been told.. The route took us all the way back to the start past the waterfall.. In total it was at 10k cycle which we all did at a leisurely pace of 1 hour 30 mins.. Need to find more routes like that.. Can't wait for it to warm up a bit..
