Home after a shower
As part of my training for a first triathlon ( Ashington) I accepted Louise Griffin's kind invitation to ride an Allen Valley Velo. I say kind, but did she push me for 40 miles, that is she pushed the pace I hung on as best I could.
We travelled from Hexham's Wentworth, down the Tyne Valley for twenty miles at some pace to enjoy a cup of coffee (Americano) at the foot of Swalwell Bank. Then it was a very hard return against a strong headwind. That was tough!
This ride was probably my fastest over a reasonable distance, finishing just short of 40 miles in 2hrs 49mins. That's fast for me. Maybe, I need a Road Bike, but my Boardman Hybrid did the job.
