Long day in the saddle

Yesterday myself and Lee completed a fairly epic 126 mile bike ride. It was 36c and I was chaffing from about mile 4, I think it may be time to replace my beloved Skinz bib shorts, if what Lee tells me is correct then they've been washed so many times they've become see through. If that doesn't stop drafters, nothing will.


We started early to avoid the heat, note the much needed coffee on the post box


Lee getting aero as I try to take a photo whilst dealing with the chaffing.


A village fete meant an off road detour and added an element of cyclocross to our long ride.



YEAH! 200 hundred sweaty, sweaty kilometers.

It was a great day and testament to the amount of time a spent aero is this large (and slightly tender) lump on my forearm which appeared this morning. Hoping this goes down before tomorrow's ride...

Looks like a pretty good way to spend the day, frankly.
