Well with just a week till the Cyclosport event and a weeks work in between me and a nice 92 miles in Worcester. We meet up same place but a bit later and i set the pace out into Coleshill and through into Atherstone road climbing them hills again but well be greated by more testing one's next week. So we went into Bentley and down the mammoth Merevale lane, Geoff said we got to hit 40 mph as the sun was shinning and both of us sweating in our winter cycling gear but it was a summers day so we headed into the hill with great pace and the next thing we descended and climb then descend did i do 40 mph i would know until i got home Geoff touched 39 mph so did i go faster then that. So we went through Sheepy magna and then onto Orton-on-the-hill chatting to each other and letting the wheels do the work instead of our legs the next thing we was in Haunton and discussing where we was going to go into Ashby or through Tamworth. So we decided to go through Tamworth and onto Dosthill. We went the quite way this time through Lea Marston and through Water orton and up the last climb onto the way home Geoff decided to ride on with me until he reached about 48 miles then he'd turn back and by then he'd of done 50 miles, so we parted and i got home plugged the Garmin in to see what speed i got up to and there it was 39.7mph. I was gutted still am but Geoff gave me some support and encouragement by texting back "Better luck next time.HaHaHa". Next time i will do it.
