There's always something else to aim at!

I went out with Horsham Cycling Club again on Sunday. It was my 4th ride with the intermediate group. I have trained pretty consistently for the last 3 months and am now doing over 120 miles per week, so I was feeling quite confident that the 'please tell me that was the hill' episode was well behind me (see post from 8th April re 'the hill'). Anyway, unlike the previous weekend when we all got soaked to the skin in lashing down rain, the weather was pleasant - cold but dry. When we set off the leader of the Sporting Group 2 (they are some of the top bananas in the club) said that they were going to ride with us as there were only 2 of them this weekend. Well, I thought the intermediates were a fit bunch, but SG2, blimey! Until Sunday I was thinking I could 'graduate' by the end of the year into the higher group if I kept up the training after the 'Big Boss Bike Ride'. I don't think so Michael - I couldn't even keep up with them going down hill!! Great ride though and thanks to everyone at Horsham Cycling for your support and encouragement. Maybe SG2 at the end of next year??
