Recovery ride

Bank holiday Easter Monday turned out to be a glorious day, so going on the bike was irrestible. I had rested yesterday as I was shattered after the 200km ride on Saturday. I topped up the front tyre send set off only for it to blow on Scott's road. So I walked back up th hill and decided to change the tyre after 3 blows in the last days. That took longer than normal but I still decided to go out with the thought of doing a shorter ride on my mind. In the end although my legs were aching I reached dowsetts lane feeling pretty good and as for once the wind wasn't against me I flew up the hill. And I decided to carry on so off I went east past st Edmunds and down to Dane end.   All was going well until I pretty much ground to a halt on sacombe hill.  I recovered at the top, flew back to the old A10 and home going up Hoe lane for a change.
