So, a week on from C2P already! Like many (all?) of the others, it's been a strange old week. After so many months of training, planning and anticipation and then 5 days full on cycling, coming back to reality was a strange transition. By Monday night I was climbing the walls and had to get out for a quick spin down the road. A couple of other rides to and from work helped me get back into the swing of things. I then joined up with the group from Walden Tri for their Sunday morning ride. I learnt that all cyclists are the same (well not quite the same - Team Jelly Baby is clearly special!). Nice and easy it was going to be. 15-17mph. This was the medium group. 3 miles in and we hit 24 mph cruising along the roads of Essex. What a great ride! Overall 18mph for 32 miles with several efforts off the front and a few hills thrown in. Riding to Paris it wasn't, but it was still great fun.
A week on, and having originally thought that after C2P I wouldn't bother with further challenges, I'm already in planning mode. Nothing any time soon, and nothing definite yet, but there are certainly a couple of dragons on the horizon...
