Progress.. but then the weather!

Since the last post, Christmas and new year has past by, and in that period the accommodation has been finalised and the bikes have been bought! A lot was learnt at the bike shop, and the result was the expected over spend on the budget. Steph and I went out on our first ride together from Rudgewick to Cranleigh and back. An hour in  the saddle in very cold conditions, but very happy to say we completed 12 miles in an hour, and whilst we were not able to cycle any further it did fill us with reasonable confidence. Firstly that the bike’s were up to it, secondly that we could average a decent speed, but mainly from my perspective -  that Steph enjoyed the experience………’all that stuff you said about the joy of being able to enjoy the down hill parts is true.. don’t get that when running’ stephs comment once back at base…. Pheew!

So anyway that was last weekend, and since then the UK has been knee deep in snow. So little has happened!
