There was no London Cross League race this weekend so I thought I'd take the opportunity to show my face at my club's Saturday morning ride - the Park Ride - but to ride Jan (that's what I call my 'cross bike) around the off-road paths around the park to get in some off-road training.
I know the roads of Richmond Park well, but it's a completely different ride on the paths. I did one complete lap and then just stuck to riding up and down the hill between Robin Hood and Kingston gates. Off-road training, hill intervals, sociable post-ride coffees, and I'd even ridden in with a potential new member who lives in my area of East London. Killed a whole week's worth of training and socialising birds with one session.
AND it was a bit wet, so Jan's finally got a taste of the mud he's been designed for!
