Rob and myself have been doing this ride for a number of years and always enjoy it, we ride from Robs home to the start and back so we complete over 57 miles.
This year was a little different because we had tickets to the rugby (GLOS V LEICS) and had to get back for Guinness before the kick off and carbo loading!!.
We started a little bit earlier and once warmed up the pace then moved up a notch and the hurt began, ok compaired to riding in West Wales where I live, the hills are not that bad but they do come thick and fast, mid way through, and fair play to Rob he kept at it and we soon found ourselves back at the start in under 2.5 hrs which at our age an't bad for 40 miles over the Cotswolds.
Whats next? Well for me more back to back days over the hills of Wales and a planned ride from Brecon to Stroud, 85 miles approx.
