Our first team bonding session took place on Sunday. The guys (BP, Sean, Calleva and Jackal) turned up at my house at about 9am after riding from Central London in the pissing rain.
We went out for a couple of hours (still in the driving rain) doing stupid stuff like pace lines, sprint lead outs and general messing about.
I have to say we got very little actual riding done but I’ve not had that much fun on a bike since giving up BMX.
This all was leading to our first race of the season on Saturday, it’s a 30km race (yes 30km) at Hog Hill. There will only be two or three of us and as it’s February and there is a steep hill we have to ascend 15 times (with a finish at the top of the 15th time) my entire aim is to ride as well as I can with no quality in my legs and enjoy the fact I’m out riding.
