My "Assistant Trainer" Pippa has just been promoted to "Trainer" now Johnnie is no longer available! Great I thought when she mentioned a training ride for Friday a route of only 4 hours!
Then came the explanation of the sections - undulating, hilly, racing and oh more undulating! We left Payhembury and rode out towards Cullompton, up to Tiverton then onto Bampton to Clayhanger (which Pippa had nicknamed Cliffhanger - I soon found out why!!) then through various places which I cannot remember to Tiverton Parkway station where we crossed the bridge and motorway and wiggled our way back to Payhembury in 4 and a half hours - I am obviously slower than Pippa!! She very kindly blamed it on my gears going up hill rather than my lack of muscle!!
A great ride and great company - Thanks Trainer!!
I arrived back in the playground at 3.30 pm to be greeted with "Oh you look tired Debbie!!" So I must have worked hard! Then down to the sailing club for Kids Friday night sailing where I had to cart 2 optimists down and get them rigged with the boys - no rest for the wicked, but boy did I sleep well on Friday!!
