Steve and I did a nice little run through Wrenbury and Marbury this past Saturday. The weather was cloudy and mild, with no rain. We managed a whole mile before one of us had a puncture (Steve this time). It turned out to be a failed patch with a bit too much pressure on it. A quick tube replacement and the rest of the ride was uneventful. We ended the ride with a sprint down a slight grade near Ravensmoor. I managed to finally break my top speed at that spot with a dizzy 61.5 km/hour (38 mph) with Steve right behind. A modest 30km (18 miles) covered during the ride followed by coffee and flapjacks.
After the break, I went with my wife Maile for a test ride on her newly acquired used bike. We made a short 12 km loop just outside of Nantwich. With the weekend ride and my three mid-week rides I managed to total up 120 km (75 miles). I am looking forward to next weekend with a long ride planned.
