Are you doing the Red Kite again, Hanneke? We're planning to be there.

I cannot do the Red Kite, as it is on the same day as my local fell race, in my village, in aid of the local outdoor education centre and organised by my club... I have to run it...

But I may well want to do the one on the Sunday, the 18 miler... are you and Gobi doing that? My friend has an op on his foot next week, so he won't be joining me for it...

I know what you mean about feeling hungry after commuting. I have breakfast before I leave home, then again in the office and I'm mubnching something pretty much for the rest of the day. I tend not to cycle in on Mondays so then I can get to a shop and stock up with fruit etc... and bring clothes into the office for the rest of the week.

It's quite nice not being forced into a bike commute that way I can avoid days when it's raining stupidly heavy (traffic is worse too on those days because all the kiddies can't walk to school in the rain!), or if there is really strong winds.

Anyone doing the AUDAX ride from Pamber Heath tomorrow? It wil be my first one, me and 2 mates thought we'd give it a go. Still not running so biking is my sole exercise at the moment.

not me TW although I do fancy doing an Audax in the near future. The OH and I should be entering the Oxford to Cambridge bike ride which should be fun.

I did the big British Cyclosportive last year, but this is first Audax..I get the impression they are a bit lower key..more of a social ride..or at least thats what I hope!

Cheers

I already have! and I let my allegiance to socks be known yesterday (in fact my advice of talc in socks started the socks hatred off!).
