Finally, a slower ride!

On Saturday morning I intended to go for a ride that would include Winnats pass - pretty much the steepest mile of road in the Peaks. I was really excited about it as it's a legendary climb which loads of people just can't get up! I sent a message to a friend to see if he fancied going for a ride and he said yes. Brilliant, my first ride with someone else!

The only downside was that he didn't feel too strong and really didn't want to add on the extra 10 miles that the loop to Winnats Pass would add. The upside was that I had a really nice ride on a really nice sunny day at the slower pace that I've been trying to ride at. It was still a reasonable pace - just not "as-fast-as-you-can-go-for 1.5 hours".

Perhaps tonight I will try to get out to Winnats Pass...
