A Big Ride- For me anyway

I must have been getting really grumpy or hard to live with whilst not cycling as my families attempts to rehabilitate me continue.
My son invited me out for a "Club Ride" on Sunday saying it was a mixed group and he would stick with me if I couldn't keep up.It turned out it was a mixed group some really good cyclists and me !!!
I was OK until the first hill which apparently doesn't slow down the club riders. Anyway I stuck at it managed to cut  out the Ballygowan bit just in time to meet up with the group at Daft Eddies and had lovely tea and scones.

 
 Up Bradshaws doing my best Tommy Voeckler impression.



I eventually clocked up 45 miles including a two or three category 4 climbs (According to Strava).



 I was a bit disappointed in my average speed but in total I had climbed over 1800ft   so not bad for my first Big day out..
