Went for a long bike ride this morning; which was good. Probably did 55 miles as I cycled to Perranworthal Station to meet with Peter and James, then off to Porthleven for a coffee and cake. Came back through Godolphin Cross and Four Lanes before we parted company and made my way back to Perranporth.
Fortunately, it was when I was on my own when I completely bonked - ended up feeling 'distressed' when I 'needed' sugar and found Blackwater stores was closed. Managed to struggle up hill (previously my favourite hill!) to garage where I bought and downed in large gulps a sports drink before feeling ready to continue.
The ride itself was very much an education - with Peter looking so good uphill and downhill and on the flat. James and I got a little left behind. James has suggested I get different (smoother) tyres for Norseman - must remember to follow this up.
P.S. The reference to 'nice man' is genuine - Peter is a real gentleman, particularly on the 5-aside pitch: determined/ tough, skillful and fair.
