I watched the Royal Wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton and although I wasn't glued to the tv (the commentry was most annoying), I did enjoy it.
Then bike was packed into car and off to Astwood Bank which was the meeting place as I still need to drive most of the way on these rides with the Hopwood Ladies.
I don't know why, but Astwood Bank seemed familiar. I passed 3 Hopwood Ladies on the way and they were all dressed up in tutu, flags and the British colours. I parked in the park carpark and just about got my bike out in time. More people were meeting there and we set off.
We went past various pubs that were all done up to celebrate the wedding and apparently Alcester was completely shut off for the event.
We finally arrived at our destination, grabbed a drink (long wait in the queue) enjoyed some cake and watched the duck race. There were some young men in the river in just their shorts to also view.
We made our merry way back to Astwood bank and by this time I was quite shattered. I am wondering when I will get better, but I didn't fall off and I didn't stop on any hills so in some ways I must be slowly getting better.
Luckily the weather had remained dry all day. It wasn't that warm, but nice for cycling.
