As Though Describing A Circle

Naomi and I went out riding together this weekend for the first time since Christmas. We went out both Saturday and Sunday on one of the easier routes we use. All on the road which keeps things simple but with a fair bit of elevation change thrown in to make you work a little.


The weather on Saturday was gorgeous and the ride was good fun. We came home and made our traditional post ride meal, two huge yorkshire puddings filled with assorted vegetables and gravy.

The Sunday ride was less fun. The weather was colder and the sky overcast. Naomi was feeling the fact she hadn't ridden for six weeks and consequently everything was a bit slower. Sunday was also the day for the Spandex Supermen to be out on the road and it was frustrating to be constantly passed by folks on seven ounce roadie bikes with their legs spinning wildly as they completely failed to make use of the almost three hundred gears at their disposal. The range of my gear work on the road doesn't usually extend much beyond big ring to middle for a junction and back again.

Still, Sunday afternoon we went over to my Best Man's place and his girlfriend served us up a fantastic roast dinner followed by the best home made cheesecake you are ever likely to find.

I'd like for us to get back on the off road riding but the next few weekends don't offer us much time what with Naomi having her Hen Night this weekend and me my Stag Do the following. It's only a couple of weeks after that that we fly out to Aus.

In the meantime I'll make do with watching stuff like these clips from the excellent ROAM.
