Graded ride today, *pics*

[Oranges]

lol you'll all be half sick of hearing about me rides lol, promise only to do the big ones from now on (if i can lol). Did a 32k graded ride today, first time doing anything other then pleasure with EGB. Got grade 3. Went out with a heartrate of 40 and in with 50. Well chuffed, speed was 11.23. Rode with same woman as last week, and another nice woman on a gorgeous arab
Spent to CP1 having a tug of war contest with Ryan, felt really bad because we'd zoomed off and left the others behind but i'd kinda lost some of the brakes, could keep in a trot , but no slower lol. Then after CP1 the ride went under one half of the motorway, then went for a mile right up between the two directions went no slower then canter up that bit lol, came out other side all lathered up lol. Ryan chilled out for a few mins after that, let the others catch up for a bit, then Ryan spotted yet another horse i nthe distance and back to his steam train impressions lol, anyhoo after we branched of onto another track we settled down completly. Seen some race riders being crewed, omg!! was so fast, they didn't even slow down Rest of ride went quite calmly (?). When we got back spoke to the woman that used to own Ryan, she used to do loads of endurance on him (40/50 miles) and she said he used to pull the first part with her on this ride aswell. Anyhoo got a couple of pics.
