I'll admit that once I got home I felt as though I was completely 'running on empty' & could almost see 'black spots in front of my eyes'
Now that's not good!, so I know I had a hard-ride (even though it was only 26miles, but almost all of it was against the wind)
The 2 pints of Tea & hot shower were most welcome upon arrival home :dance:

I was out along most of the same route this morning, but it was thankfully wind-free, just a gentle breeze.
The weather certainly made the difference.
I might alternate that one with my Sherburn route for a couple of weeks, before heading south-west into 'the Hills' (HolmeMoss/Saddleworth/Woodhead Pass)

Received by 'Registered' today Steve.
Thankyou very much.
I've never seen that before, but didn't know what to expect

I've had a look through it, it's a nice little magazine. Like the interviews at the end of Paris-Roubaix
Seems very reminscient of Land Rovers own 'One Life', in its own way.
For anyone else reading this who wonders what I'm on about here, read this overview from 'Wikipedia'
It can get rather muddy;

Oh, & Steve.
Here's a little something for you to share with the shop, if they haven't seen it already (I added it to 'The Lounge' on the 'Cycling Weekly.co.uk'forums)
GREENI:
Glad you liked it, I thought you'd appreciate it..
One fine sought after publication there ;)
Keep an eye out for our Brian Rourke Bikes in the near future Cycling Weekly :wink:

Yes, it's a fine looking publication, there's a branch of Borders Books in Leeds that may possibly have it on the shelves, as they get a lot of different magazines to the 'run-of-the-mill' newsagents.
I don't get 'CW' very often, but I'll browse the next few issues in that case

I know this mornings ride was a lot easier, as I've just been out for a run
Not a long one, perhaps a bit under 2 miles (Big Wuss!!), but it was easy.
Almost too easy :D
After seeing a leaflet in the local referane Library yesterday, I'm even considering entering a 10K (6.2miles) road-race/fun-run at the end of the month :shock: :shock:
If I decide do it, I can even run it & then get to work in time (afternoon shift) as it's in Wakefield and starts at 10:00
The benificiary is Wakefield Hospice
Course details
Should I go for it?, even if the only money they get off me is my entry fee??
I've got to run it in my Featherstone RC colours though ;)
Edit @ 23:35 I'll have to run it in club-colours to show the proper-runners that I've come from the world of 2-wheels, not 2-legs
Bush Tucker Man:
Blimey!!!!!!!!
I've been out for a 5-mile run, as a 'test'.
I got back about 10:45, and have just about got my legs back.
That wasn't good & certainly not a 'fun-run' :roll:
I managed to get down the main-road & under the M62, through the edge of EuroPort, before having to stop by the railway bridge to 'readjust myself' & take the woolly hat off for a couple of minutes.
Then, I'll admit, I cut a corner off :oops: (for anyone who knows the area, I omitted Altofts & LeeBrigg)
It was hard though, after all I jumped from 21/2 miles to double that distance with no interim run
Time taken = I daredn't say :-#
But, I think from memory, that the full loop is about 6miles. I think I cut just over a mile off it.
Shameful!!! :oops:
