X training today – a late afternoon ride in Dorking, Surrey. It was a beautiful clear day, a chill picking up pace in the air. Getting there we encountered a few fails. (this on top of a late decision to make the day a bike day) I blame it on the hunger. Ray on an empty stomach can be dangerous. So, after navigating our way there sans satnav (second fail) we finally got there and set about gearing up. A fairly gentle climb to the viewing tower/tuck shop I managed to reacquaint myself with the many gears and began to try and keep up with Ray (third fail) After some fun downhill slaloms and some not so fun uphill rises I made a major fail – criticised the pro-biker’s direction and immediately lost his advice. A grumpy ride back to the car we made up on the drive home, De La Soul coaxing us into apologies. The day was saved by a kick-arse home made curry.
