Blondes have more fun … just like Group 1!!!
It was a spin of two halves for Trim Cycling Club’s G1 today, with a strong wind to work against from Navan to Kells on the way out, then an exhilarating and speedy Crossakiel to Trim on the way home.
As we waited at the traffic lights before leaving Trim I turned around to count the group and see who was present. I had to tell them that not only was I pleased to cycle with such a fine group, I was even excited. And I was proven right, everybody worked really well together.
Heading to Kells we rigidly operated a kilometer on each side up front meaning that we were all pretty fresh in spite of the wind. At the Millbrook coffee stop, after minor adjustments to our hair and make up, we had the choice of the treats and felt really bad when Group 2 arrived to no freshly baked fruit scones. (Bernie actually punched me when I pointed this out to Harro and herself.)
Group 2 looked like they were enjoying themselves as well although Marcus unfortunately broke a spoke and ended up having to be collected.
Anyway having successfully negotiated Loughcrew us glamour guys attacked the spin home, ending up with a 28.8 average moving speed per my Garmin. Seán.
