I've discovered that I'm as slow cycling up hills as I am running up them (my hill speeds are legendary at running club!) - although I didn't appreciate a bloke leaning out of his car to yell at me to get a move on (paraphrased). So hill training is very much required for me.
It was a surprisingly pleasant evening and we stopped on all River Itchen bridges to admire the view. There is a photo of Ben to add - just having some format issues....
The turn round point was determined by Ben's bike picking up a puncture and I got to appraise his puncture repair skills - really good, especially as he's a road cyclist (mountain bikers tend to get more practise).
So a good start - just need to get more of the team with us next time.
