You taste copper just riding the one flat mile home from the shops.
you have to turn your head to the side to breathe
You crest a hill and shift down a gear, or 2, or 3.....
you get the bus to work instead of riding!
You ride past two overturned lorries!
You get caught by a strong sidewind at the bottom of a hill which pushes you into a curb and you come off and bust a shoulder...
You spit and it overtakes you....
Oh - that was you on the Avonmouth Bridge cycle path, was it?
I rode the Portway outbound on Monday and struggled to hit 14 mph till I got to Bridge Valley Road then all of a sudden I was freewheeling at 24 mph. I suffered the same fate on the return journey, nice nad easy till I got to the bend at the bottom then single figure speed to the lights.
Just to keep things bang on trend.............was the guy going uphill mechanical doping??
He had a big grin on his face, is that evidence of cheating?
You get a wind assisted KOM on a rigid steel MTB.

Sheep are flying backwards!
you are overtaken by leaves
