Happy Birthday Ride

A cyclist can ask little more than to have an enjoyable club ride run at a fast pace with some nice hills for his birthday, and thats just what I got. The weather could've come a bit earlier, the afternoon was great but the morning was a bit overcast and the arm and leg warmers had to come out.

My family came back from a week away that afternoon, earlier than expected, they were back already when I got in just after 1pm. Unfortunately this meant I didn't get to rest like I'm meant to after a hard training ride, but we did go out for dinner which I guess made up for it a bit. I did also get to watch most of the Amstel Gold race on Eurosport too, which turned out to be quite a good race. The dutch races are always a bit crazy: big pelotons around small country lanes and sharp corners, very dangerous and exciting.

A birthday well spent I think :)
