after 50km and 750m of climbing this happened. so i shoved the only thing i had some tissue into it. got me to the closest station and the 10km home.
Oof! That looks bad. How old are those Gatorskins? There doesn't look like there's much wear on them really...

It's above freezing and the snow has mostly gone so I went for a ride around the lake today. My shoulders ache now though, I need to get some more miles in so my body stops complaining!
See, now there's a throw away line that disguises the truth - "...so I went for a ride around the lake...". To me, where I live, "the lake" is Hawley Lake, and it's a two mile lap, maybe nearly three by the time you get there and get back. Your version of "the lake" seems to be a forty mile lap, and even then that's not a lap of the full lake! Looks like a great place to ride.Nice picture too!
Nothing new ride-wise from me recently. I've done my legs a mischief running 10km on Monday night off the back of no running whatsoever for a month. I'm also hiding from the rain and the sloppy mud. I've nothing to prove to myself at the moment, having just taken delivery of my Rapha Festive 500 patch!

A full lap requires me to venture into deepest darkest Kanton Schwyz, and pass through the villages of Wangen and Tuggen so I opted for the mid-length version (I can bail half way and take a ferry home if needed), It's a great place to ride, flat roads around the lake or head up into the hills (not really mountains) where I can climb 500m up straight from my front door.Nice picture too!

Well done on the Festive 500, I've never even bothered trying as I'm too full of Bordeaux and port to even contemplate it, even if the wet and pot-holed Sussex roads tempted me out. It's a shame, I really liked the Rapha Core Festive 500 jersey and it was very cheap in the sale but I didn't buy as I hadn't earned it
