Mike [& his new bike] came to town for our 1st joint training ride. Our training personal regimes have up to this point been in isolation, so with mileage increasing it was a good time to get together. As I said today would be a day of first's & you may be aware from www.MikeysBikey.com that Mike has a new bike & today was its 1st major outing, today would also see Mike break the 50 mile barrier for the 1st time. Thats us on the right ready for the off.Our planned route was a lumpy circuit I've done before which had a bit of everything & would be a good leg tester. So, from home we headed to Muxton - Sherrifhales - Shifnal - Coalport - Ironbridge - Atcham - Uffington - Haughmond Hill - Crudgington - Edgmond - Lilleshall & back home a total of 57.3 miles.
It was great to have company on the ride & with the excellent weather & the fantastic Shropshire countryside it couldn't have been better. The L2P event is now only 9 weeks away & we will be doing more training rides together over the coming weeks.
Hats off to the group of tandem cyclist riding up Brickkiln bank out of Coalport
