Cheer up!

He was waiting there because he'd spotted that I'd accidentally both dropped a quarter of my sandwich and stopped my ride recording in one go.  I laughed out loud when I saw him and knew that a virtual badge was nothing on a spectacular day out.  (On saying that, Enrique from Strava had pressed manual override within half an hour of me arriving home after my humorous support message so now I have the best of both worlds!)

Must just note the difference on my bike too - I've amended my eating over the last month or so and had a PR on Brootes Lane for the first time since 2018.  The PR isn't the important bit but for the last three years, I've felt like my muscles are getting weaker not stronger like I think they should be.  Today was a revelation and the PR was evidence - I'm feeling stronger. I've also been able to do consecutive days on the turbo without feeling like I'm going to fall over. 

My grin is almost as big as his.
