Let your soul guide you along the way

This week’s rides are serendipitous things, organised at short notice, and not planned in any real way.  This time around it was Martyn wondering if anyone from the ACG was likely to be around to ride this morning.  Yes, as it happens.  Me.  Which is great for me because currently I’m preferring to ride in company, and [...]

Ideally I should have been doing regular shorter, faster rides than I have, and be tapering off by now. Instead I have done a long ride every week or so, ending with one of around [...]
