Legs are mush Articles / La Marmotte - 174km cycle, 5180m ascent Date: Apr 25, 2009 - 10:54 PM Cycled to Dorking this morning to meet up with the lads in lycra for the next instalment of my conversion to road cyclist. A few too many pints on Friday night, and cycling into work during the week, made it a bit hard to get going, especially as I was not paying attention and managed to go under the M25 without noticing it, and missed my turn off. So ended up cycling a bit more going to Dorking via Box Hill. Did another great loop of the Surrey Hills. But this time the pace was a bit faster, led by keen Chris. Kieran managed to go further than the 23km last week (his excuse then was putting on too short a chain then and busting it). This time he managed a better excuse half way round, coming off his bike going downhill at speed after hitting a bump in the road. Was lucky he had his helmet on, saved his head from a nasty knock. But he got some nice grazed and bleeding elbow and knees. Lucky the rest of us managed to avoid a big pile up. Who sais road cycling is for wimps? Next Sunday we'll be racing the Forest of Dean Spring Classic This is the elevation graph for it: So should be entertaining!
