Jersey Sportive!

Unfortunately our weekend in France was cancelled due to the strong winds and the ferry crossing to St Malo. Not being a good sailor I was very grateful. I am flying to the UK for the L2P just in case. Rather than miss out completely the majority that had planned to ride one or both of the French sportives decided to make our regular Saturday ride a long one - 'The Jersey Sportive'. Not quite the same but most of us us managed the 150km at a good pace. Average speed 29.5kph which is better than expected due to the number of bends and stops. Attempting that distance in Jersey felt a little like a scene from 'Groundhog Day'. Although it was still windy the rain only arrived when we finished at the Radisson for a well earned pint. Had to resort to the turbo today as it rained virtually non stop. Weather should be better tomorrow so extra miles as punishment for being a fair weather cyclist. Another thing to remember for L2P is to bring along a pair of flip flops. They are easy to carry in your musette to put on at the end of each day and a lot kinder to your tired feet than shoes. What about your stories???
