The Suffering Cyclist

Collecting and sharing tales of an average cyclist...suffering in his quest to do sportives in semi-respectable style.

Anyone else pedalling squares?

@carne1991 All good! #CS8 was a particular highlight, bombing along for 2miles in a decent peloton on some wide cycle routes! Did you dig out yours today?
