Saturday saw me running round cycle shops looking for brooks prof hide,using road bike sunday and new saddle bought last year ain't no sofa,desperate measures,(it didn't help)
Sunday morning up with the lark and of to the meet at millhouses cafe,cheated thought took van as far as millhouses,after drinks of tea we all mounted and agreed to regroup at the top ,owler bar roundabout.we all set of at a nice steady pace climbing through totley but as we moved into open country,boy did it get hard legs were burning and the wind was in our face,nearing the top it got stronger and stronger,resulting in a couple of stumbles as the wind blew two riders from there saddles,lucky to get their feet down quick,at the top 4 of our party decided it was to dangerous to carry on and return down the hill,four of us battled on having to pedal down hill to baslow is wrong,cafe on the green was a welcome cuppa and a decision to re route as we had lost our leader(one of the returnees)it was a joint decision to head for grindleford and on to hathersage ,were we had another cafe stop.after refueling i decided to head up the surprise towards my van,the others carried on round to return vie moscar,
surprise certainly expecting a tail wind home it didn't materialise instead i found myself battling wind yet again until fox house were by i was blown all the way back to millhouses
but even though twas a bit drafty i still enjoyed my day out.quite proud of the fact i battle on rather than surrendering to the wind
