I don't know if I'm losing it, or if there is a strange theif operating in my area- 2 things have gone missing this week- a seive (which I needed to make some cake) and my pedals!! I actually think I left the pedals in the car park in Staveley after my training ride, but I am sure I put them in the car boot!
Anyway Mark M came out cycling with me on Saturday- I didnt want to cancel so used some old pedals instead- I have several pairs. The only problem is that the old pedals are rubbish and my feet kept slipping out of them, and when I set off from a junction my feet wouldnt go back in!!
Somehow I did manage to make it through Holmfirth and up Holme Moss, back via Thurstonland and in the rain through Huddersfield. In all just under 50 miles. Not sure if Mark was amused or frustrated at having to wait every now and then, but we seemed to get through ok.
We also managed a sort of car chase with an annoyed old man!! At a junction we almost hit the bonnet of a car which was pulling out in front of us!! Having shouted at the driver we carried on, but then realized he was annoyed at us- why I am not sure (maybe he doesnt like having his driving skills examined?) For some strange reason he overtook us- shouted a bit, and then put his brakes on and went slow in front of us for about a mile- we thought it was quite funny and was wondering what he might do next. He decided to turn at the next junction but before he did he managed to shout something bad mouthed at us, which we had a laugh about.
not many training rides left now- will be going to France on 23rd, so last minute preparations! watch this space for more details.
