[Happy Holidays]

Flippin eck your bike rides don't sound fun!!!! Well done on the loss.

 

[Quins]

Happyholidays you've got it nailed. There has been nothing pleasant about riding recently. Going up a group is blo@dy hard. The weather doesn't help either. I came back after yesterday's ride and said to my family " why am I doing this ?" I think if I quit with this group now I won't like myself for quitting. However, if I don't make progress within another 2 months I will drop back down a group. I'm sure the weight loss will help with the hills ( power to weight etc). Can't wait to report " had a lovely ride"
