After riding, Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday I took friday off in prep for a long weekend including today, Valantine's day. On Friday afternoon though i removed my rack and P8 forks replacing them with my foxes, and fitted a mud tyre, new bottom bracket, new chain and a cleaned out headset. She felt fantastic and was a very easy move to make.
On Saturday morning I took part in Hit The North 2.5, 'the resurrection'. A fantastic ride for chairty in North Manchester. Very muddy and a lot of fun. I started at the back (around 170th) and slowly over took loads of people to finish 52nd. It was more of a good laugh than a serious bit of racing for me as I caught up behind a lot of guys on cyclocross bikes most of the time. A few of the cyclo guys were flying and to be honest it was funny to see them in the same field as the rest of us mere mortals.
So a really fun event and with the 10 miles back on the road after I finished my 16 miles, 2hr 10mins, race gave me another 26 miles to add to my tally. totally 4819.
