This is why it's a good idea to ride regularly…
Meet my mate Viv, aka Valve, Long Jaw and many other unpublishable nicknames. He rode his Specialized Epic all last summer and for most of the winter, but this weekend was the first time he's ridden (or done any exercise) in over six months. The picture says how knackered he was after the first climb of Penhydd at Afan Argoed. He brought up Saturday's Chinese about half hour later - nice. Keep riding mate, you’ll be back to your reckless self (like Bambi on ice) in no time.
