Stand up Paddle Boarding and the ClimachX Trail

Sunday morning dawned bright and clear with a little bit of surf, so rather than waste the morning watching the Grand Prix and to give Jay a little rest before the second ride of the weekend we went for a nice little Stand-up-Paddle board session at Ynyslas.

Jay couldn’t quite stand-up so had a knee-down paddle board session, but we both caught some nice little waves. Jay did manage to loose his wedding ring though which wasn’t a great start to the day for him.

After catching up with the events of the Grand Prix whilst Anna, Morgan and Pat were ‘working’ in the garden, Jay and I headed off (Jay somewhat reluctantly!) to ClimachX for another mountain-bike ride.

Jay was suffering from yesterdays ride so we took it easy. Jay took it really easy and was actually overtaken on the first climb by someone walking their dog! Tch tch tch, come on Jay, you can do better than that. He did make it all the way around the ClimachX Trail though, although he was off and pushing quite a bit. I think he enjoyed the final descent and I had a nice leisurely ride around in the sunshine.

All in all a good weekend, probably good for me to have a couple of easy rides as I’m still recovering from illness, and although it was painful I think Jay enjoyed it and will hopefully be back soon for some more!
