Superb bike ride this morning. Went from Perranporth to Devoran, then onto Bissoe (where we stopped for a lovely coffee), then onto Portreath, via Redruth and Illogan, before heading back on A3075.
Managed to stay on my bike - did almost career into the back of Stephen at one point, when he stopped surprisingly (for me) but did not lock brakes so all good. Definitely more nervous down hill in particular than I was a week ago (and I was not the most confident before my crash!) - so still some work to do that particular demon.
One demon I have gone some way to exorcising is my fear that I am lot lot slower than the Perranporth Posse - I was still not sure how much my deflated tyre contributed to me getting dropped by the peloton 2 weeks ago and when I started to get dropped by the group on the A3075 I thought 'oh dear'. However, I tried really hard and did manage to catch them back up - so feel a little more confident that I can improve my speed (not quite up to the Posse speed yet though...)
Decided I find United Downs quite picturesque.
And it seems all roads lead to Lanner: saw Tom to shout 'hello' to as we cycled past his house - which was nice.
