Any of you about jm?

 Well done Trio, sounded really tough that one!

My mates are doing the Gran Fondo Cymru this weekend (200km and 4100m climbing!). I'm having my first non-cycling weekend in ages as I'm going to a hen do! Will get a long ride in on Monday though. Next sportive is the Dragon Ride which will be the longest one I've done...so am trying to get my mileage up as much as poss at the mo. Then it's the Circuit of the Cotswolds the following week, and then a little break before the dreaded Legbreaker!!

Ooh, thanks for that Trio. There are 2 photos of me, I don't look too happy on either of them!

Apparently I'm on the video going up the Coal Road as well. I've not managed to watch it yet. Goodness knows what I'll look like doing that!

I've only watched part of the vidoes, but they are just quick shots of people so I wouldn't worry too much.

Yes it was a hard one bry, I have got into these sportives though.  My next one is the legbreaker, long route this year.  I'm actually looking forward to it.  I seem to be getting a little faster as time goes on.

I always try and smile for the camera, as cameras always flatten pictures.  They were taken on the first really really long climb!

You are definitely into them - very impressive! And sounds like you are getting more confident too.

Thought you would be interested to know I've just ordered some pink tyres! They are Schwalbe Stelvio Raceguards...from a shop called Race Scene in Barnsley!
