Today it’s Life Cycle 5 which is a low budget Cycle Sportive
running from Nottingham University and in aid of dementia
research. There are two road routes, a 75 miler and a 50 miler. I do the 50
which heads out westward to the north of Derby before heading back.
I am on the front row when we start and end up being in the
lead for quite a while as others decide to pedal slowly. Then a guy who has been
shadowing me decides I’m also pedalling far too slowly and leaves me for dust.
I’m also one of only a few making use of the two feed stations, a lot choose not to
stop at all. Personally I can’t pass up on a complimentary flapjack.
L comes to meet me as I cross the line in 3
hours 12 minutes, which is not really the sort of pace I was looking for
pre-Vitruvian next week. Then again it was hilly but then so is the Vitruvian.
I have a novel post-ride massage with one masseur on each
leg, which is great idea except they are both doing totally different things to
me at the same time. So I may walk oddly afterwards.
