A short ride out to Topsham this evening, going via Old Rydon Lane to add in a little bit of a hill. As we're not going to fit a ride in this weekend, it almost seemed a bit pointless to go out, but it's good to start getting in the habit of doing a ride after work. I also wanted to try out some of my new bargainous half price cycling gear. It was evident within moments that my new cycle trousers don't provide as much padding as my favourite old lycra leggings! They won't be my gear of choice for the big day!
On the back lanes up to Topsham I glanced a cyclist coming the other way and thought something didn't seem quite right. It wasn't until afterwards that Ant explained he was riding a tandem on his own! Shame I didn't get chance to snap a picture - you'll have to make do with the pic of the Bowling Green instead!
In Topsham we stopped briefly to stock up on a few provisions. Best to make the most of training rides and do practical chores at the same time! We headed back the easy route along the river. A nice ride and we could have cycled further, but dinner was calling us homeward. Another 11 miles on the clock...but still a long way to go!
