Monday again. Friday night at the fun hotel had fun. Before alcoholic consumption as the rain had stopped did a big ride.
Went round Bolton RR to Dunscar, Turton, up hill over to Blackburn, Darwen, Belmont, Matchmoor. An epic ride, damp in places and misty over the moors to Blackburn.
Then into the bar. Talked and talked and drank and drank. I drank all the stock of Smirnoff Ice (which I am reliably informed by an old fart at the bar is an ladies drink) on Thursday. So had to make do with vodka and red bull. Which I had almost forgot is an enjoyable tipple. The hangover and the cure in one glass. That was a 02.oo session. Got up Saturday. The sun was shining !! Went off round Bolton ring road and up Dunscar over to Belmont over Scout Road and back. Packed away and rode mtb up and spent the day watching the Commonwealth Games Womens & Mens road races. The sun shone and the racing was good. Mainly watched on the steep hills by Yarrows reservoir and rode up and down tracks to ge around the course. Felt pretty tired so decided not to ride the 25 mile TT on Sunday. Went a 21 hardish ride instead.
