Satisfaction

Steve's grin sums up the satisfaction of challenging yourself and succeeding.

Whilst there are still a daunting few bends to climb, the whole group rode over the Cols du Glandon and Croix de Fer in weather that had threatened to be wet.

Whatever your pastimes are, giving yourself a real challenge often feels just great.

Someone once told me that a real challenge is something you attempt without knowing whether you will be able  to succeed.

It worked today.
