At the library this morning were Jack de Bokx, Doug T, Ben B, Nick S, Paul B, Rob H, Mick K, Phil J and myself the Mad one.
Jack ,Doug and Ben set off on what is now known as the Big boys run or the run for those on special pills supplied by Oops im not allowed to say,so please one of you write a blog for the day.
The rest of us the SLOW bunch set off to Boston Spa With a tail wind from heaven ,through Dewsbury ,Birstall ,Tong we were like pure pro’s 30 mph and the line was tight and we all took turns on the front untill we got to Headingley were the totty were out in force “Eyes front” off we set again on a lovely rolling road about 5 miles of quiet country road again all working together like pro’s we set a great pace all the way to the turn for Boston with only a couple of miles left togo we split up around the round about and i was doing 29 mph without turning a pedal all back together we turned up at the cafe and yet again Phil did not let us down.
The Cafe run by two Italian guys was pretty quiet ,I dont know why because the food was awesome and they were so quick in bringing it out , No English Breakfasts why would you want a fryup in a true Italian cafe .
So most of us had some kind of cappuccino and a panini ,Mine was meatball sweet chilli and mozzarello with side salad,
All fed and watered we all paid up and set off , Has we set off for home in the direction of Aberford it was straight into an headwind this lasted all the way home ,but again we were well versed in the through and off so it did’nt feel that bad but the pace did suffer just a tad,
So through Aberford onto Garforth and up the Ardsley and home via Leeds road .
A brilliant sunday run and yet again Phil you did’nt fail us .
But i have to say were all missing the captain , So get yourself fit and get pedalling Buddy
The stats are 60 miles
ave speed 18.2 mph
3201 cals burnt 2500 back on with the panini
Ok Ok So for the real story we were never looking like pros we never went through and off and as for been a tight group only thing in the group thats tight is when Phil as to pay for what hes eaten ,but we can all have a good imagination
Real stats
60 miles
15.4 mph
Awesome company good laughs brilliant food
Next week cafe stop or not up to you Keithley , Peckett well , Cragg vale and home if you want Rossis you can but i will be carrying on without a stop and Has Phil is not out ive been given the armband.
so untill then Have fun
Mad John
