A big crowd in the square this morning - as indeed you'd hope with blue skies overhead and virtually no wind - and after a brief chat about not riding like plonkers we split into three, vaguely pace-related, rides. I set off with the final steadier group of seven, and nice, tidy riding by all concerned meant we tucked in behind the middle group at the lights in Tadcaster long enough to deploy some sarcasm. The fast boys all pretty much gave up after that - as soon as the our group approached everyone hurled their bikes upside-down onto the verge and stared at their shoes!
A couple of our number peeled off on the way round so the remainder were instructed to "go like Muzzy" and a nice single line and 20sec turns got us back home swiftly. 215W NP and 19.5mph overall, and plenty of nice steady 23mph+ rolling along towards the end. Thanks to all.
Probably worth noting that almost everyone who has RaceBlades had had the bloomin' things fall apart over the past few weeks - they seem designed to last one winter. I think the time has come to fire up the summer bikes if you fancy, and no complaints about muckspreading. The first races of the season are just around the corner, so you may as well get used to getting covered in crap. Or we may just continue to get glorious weather....
