Tried to go for one of those long slow zone2 rides since every other ride lately has been around 1 hour of absolutely ragging myself about (hit a new max heartrate the other day), ofcourse that didnt last long as met another chap 10 miles in and took turns drafting/leading. Very fun but the initial plan meant I didn't bring anything to eat, that combined with Garmin taking me the wrong way lead to reaching the top of this hill then bordering on bonking. Strange they never look as steep when you take the picture.
Managed to find a pub in the middle of wherever that was happy to fill my bottle up with juice/sugar (I'd imagine a common request given the terrain around there) then found a shop which buying some sour patch kids and a bottle of Fanta which got me home.
Love the Felt, not as light as the Bianchi (though I haven't weighed it) but the smaller frame size makes it feel so much more nimble and strangely nicer to throw around in a sprint. Road bug is back, vehicle fear dwindling, shame a month from now it's likely to be pissing down 24/7.
