Dragged my ass out of bed this morning and hooked up with Richard for a "family ride" with his club. One of the riders had his young kid with him, think he was about 8 or 9, on the back of his tandem. 18 miles later at the cafe, said kid announces "Dad... I can't see anything" and looks decidedly wobbly! I think he was bonking! Anyway, when chatting to his dad I said "are his pedals fixed with yours?"
"Yep!" pronounces his dad. Blimey! no wonder he was bonking... had to cycle at his dad's pace!! LOL. Surprised he hadn't fallen off with exhaustion. O well, can of Coke and a Toffee cake put him right.
35 miles in total for me... probably more for that kid, as I peeled off early and took the short cut home.

About me
Hi, welcome to my blog. I started riding to work in 2005, then decided to do London to Paris ride for charity in 2007, met some great people, formed a "charity team" with them and haven't looked back since. I've done the Paris ride 3 times now, andplanning on JOGLE at some point, plus if funds allow maybe something more adventurous (the Amazon is currently on the list). I originally started this blog to keep track of training and to let my sponsors see how I was getting on, but now I just post any old crap... all to do with cycling of course (",) and a bit of swimming now.
