Going Strong

My second club ride of the season with Lindsey Roads, and despite a relatively poor turnout, it is Easter Sunday and weather wasn't looking great, it turned out to be a good ride. Average speed was over 20mph and considering there were a fair few hills thats not a bad effort. I attacked and won every big climb, some I won by a stangely large amount; either I'm in good form or everyone else has given up competing against my climbing.
After a quick café stop for the oldies we got moving again and the pace didn't slip much. There was a plan to do some through and off but we just set a reasonably high pace in the group as only 5 of us had survived thus far. Unfortunately there wasn't a spring at the usual place coming into Tetney so I thought I'd have a sprint myself on the way from Holten-le-Clay to Toll Bar just to give the legs a good burn out before getting home.
75 miles in total today, of fast flats and attacking on big climbs. Now I'm in my living room watching Paris-Roubaix on Eurosport. This is how Easter day should be.
