It doesn’t feel right to consider my last few rides as training. They have been in beautiful sunshine, with great company, fabulous cake stops and some of the most stunning countryside. I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing. Getting faster and fitter is the added bonus!
1. To The Blue Zucchini in Tetbury (88km with 1011m Climb)
For the biggest slice of carrot cake ever!
2. To Chedworth Farm Shop (73km with 1033m Climb)
Possible the best ever Sunday morning ride. Most of the group, beautiful day, fast and fun!
3. To The Jolly Nice and The Lakes (87km with 904m Climb)
A fast ride out to The Jolly Nice to meet these lovely ladies for an early evening ride out to the Lakes and then a mindful cycle home in the evening sunshine along miles of quiet country lanes.
Challenging Times 
Sounds like a lovely day xx
Good work & good eats girlfriend. Looking fit & healthy! Xx
Thanks Liz, feeling fit and as healthy as it gets. Hope you are too my lovely. xx
Good work & eats my friend! 🚲 Xx
Sounds just perfect Alison, your enthusiasm is a tonic for us all xx
Thank you. We all need a tonic (and a large gin with it!) in these strange times. x
Oh for a bit of that sunshine and a large bite of that carrot cake! Xx
That cake would have beaten all of us!
Oh, if I must! I’m in search of one……….
All good stuff. However I would recommend that to seriously prepare for the Alps you really need to search out a cafe that sells croque monsieur and Tarte aux myrtilles ;)
