Softly softly, catchy monkey
April was an improvement on earlier months this year. Got out half a dozen times and a staggering distance of about 360kms. Even managed two visits to the world famous Eureka Cafe. The cake there always ensures I don't lose too many calories on these rides. Did my longest ride for quite a while, in fact my longest recorded on Strava, 116kms. Went over the "Shelf" a famous climb out of Rhuthin in North Wales. Wasn't too bad either. Last time I went over there was 25 years and 10kgs ago. I did notice the difference! But it reminded me of what I had been missing. Despite my lack of ability, I do still like the hills of North Wales. This area of the UK is really fantastic for pedalling around. The new kit arrived (see last post) and was fitted. Managed to get it all working, so I'm very pleased with the upgrades so far. Even managed to recoup some of the cost with a bit of spit and polish on the old kit and flogged on eBay. Major recent purchases are
