When Sarah and I left home this morning to cycle to the start of the Stockport Community Cycling Club Off to See the Wizard ride there was a point when we both doubted whether our legs had the strength to complete it. Having run 12.5 miles as part of our marathon training the previous day the legs were still feeling it. This was also not helped by the strong headwind to the start.

Today I should have been leading an SCCC Ride to Tatton Park. However it had to be cancelled due to the weather – the possibility of ice being too great. After we had waiting at the cycle ride start, just in case anyone hadn’t get the message and turned up to ride, it was pleasing that everyone had obviously got the message as no one turned up!
