Alconbury Midnight Growlers

[legrandefromage]

biggest problem I found was that the body and energy levels were fine...

Lungs? no no. the cold easterly damp wind really put the mockers on it. nasty asthma attack- took me about half an hour before I could breathe 'normally' again.

no fun...

Your hills are just like the one's we have here in Lincolnshire

 

[legrandefromage]

flat.

The flat hills are the worse kind, they creep up on you and catch you out.

Right an update for the 'Midnight Growlers' bimble:

Not a chance... The weather means my nice route is both flooded and iced over, most likely until late February.

There is a 10 - 15 mile route involving Grafham which I'll look into.

I need to get up and around Grafham again, it's been a while. I'd usually head up through the fields from the Hail Weston ford, comes out near 'Iron Man II'. Post-viral fatigue sucks hard Can do a few hours of good riding but will pay for it in a few days hardcore above and beyond what it should, and the lymph node pain increases for the week after i push myself.

route now under 2ft of water....

beshroomed, I take the same route to Grafham, through the fields from the Hail Weston ford.

another rider from St Neots yay!

I've not managed to go that way since the new year, stupidly did 4 mornings in a row and made myself poorly again. A bit of a vicious cycle for me, finally felt good and went and overdid it!

Yeah i'm from St Neots!

Last time I went that way to Grafham it was over the Christmas holidays. I cycle everyday to work anyway (9 miles) so I'm always on my bike.

Perfect weather today to get out on the bikes!

Hopefully you are feeling better now though.
