Richmond Park

I went for a training ride today in Richmond Park. Normally riding round the park is difficult because of the hills and some of the draggy bits, but now its even harder than before because they are in the process of resurfacing the ground, which has changed it terrain totally so its not as smooth as it was before.

I managed to do the 3.5hr that I set myself and I am just totally mashed up right now - no really I am.

Doing it again tomorrow :0)

Yesterday I started a brand new part time job at a local sports store as a Customer Service Assistant near where I live. It fits perfectly around my other commitments such as my studies and cycling. Okay ok so I can no longer cycle with my cycling club on a Saturday anymore because its now an official working day for me along with the Sunday. I don't mind simply because I have more time to revise, volunteer, sew, cook, cycle, play, play and play some more and just a bit more. Right now my Customer Service Assistant job at 27 years old is just "Perfect"!

Tour of the Black Mountains July 2010

‘Oh Stephanie, The Tour of the Black Mountains will be waaay to hard for you!’ is what they said to me when I told them the name of the event I would be taking part in, others who didn’t want to insult me just smiled and said ‘oh thats great--good luck with that’. Mmm.

I admit The Tour of the Black Mountains was HAARRD, in fact it was the hardest event I have ever done in my entire life. I mean daaam who tested this route, a horse or did someone just drive the route in a frigging Range Rover?

Either way I am so happy that I opted for the 63 mile route which took me 6h 7m 8s to complete, I was even happier when I finished. One of the best things I love about cycling is descending, but on this particular ride I found that most of my time was spent either climbing or pressing on my brakes because the mountains had a number of blind spots which just made it impossible to see around the bend.

My final thought of this ride is that it should be left to the Pro’s and Elites, as there no place for an armature like me on this type of ride. I will repeat what was said to me if you are reading this considering taking part in the next ride -‘Good Luck with dat!’
