Savin Savage Century (and football)

On Saturday I rode the Savin Savage Century with a friend. It's probably one of the best rides I've ever done. Perfect weather and a good route.

We didn't really take enough food because I took some money to buy lunch. The only issue with this was that I forgot the money and we had to get by on what we had!

Amazingly after 100 miles I didn't feel anywhere near as bad as I expected. I was pretty tired but certainly still felt like I had it in me to attack some of the last climbs.

Yesterday I played football and was a wreck all the way through. Before the game started my legs were tired and by half time I just wanted to lie down and go to sleep. Unfortunately we didn't have subs so I had to keep running and running until full time. By the end I was tripping over my feet I was so tired!

On the ride to work this morning I came across a cyclist who thought he was faster than me. Oh dear, oh dear. I look back now and pity him. He shot away from the traffic lights like a bullet from a gun and was pedalling furiously up the road. In fairness it took me about 20 metres to catch him but when I did I took a second to compose my "I'm not trying face" and rode past. Hopefully he won't try to mess with me again!
