Sundayriders lsd ride

First proper wet ride of the year - well in the UK anyway :) So we had to dig out las guardabarras

Today's ride was to the tea shop at Cripplegate lake, Southwater.  JD needed some steady km and decided that hanging on to the back of me and Jane for 80km's would suit her down to the ground :)

The way it went was that me and JD failed to hang onto Jane's wheel for much of the way down. Jane is sooo strong at the moment.  Her form is coming good in time for the Ibiza race, she'll need it because la campionata del mundo -
Marga Fullana will be there!  
I don't know how they do it in Ibiza, last October they had Miguel Indurain and Abraham Olano turn up for their road sportif.

It took us 2.15 to do the 40km to the café - surprisingly quick considering it was hard going and  muddy. We were filthy. The lake was quite busy with people canoeing and others sitting outside in the now bright sunshine. 

We had a nice tailwind for the return and got home a minute faster. JD fluffed the little climb near the end "the cows looking at me put me off" And we had to hose down the bikes (and JD) for the first time this year!
