Delitescent - hidden

This was taken at 8:30 this morning as Sally arrived to pick up me and my bike for the 30 mile ride we’d signed up for. I look calm and happy but there are many hidden things going through my head:

I haven’t ridden my bike yet this year, will I be able to manage 30 miles?
I don’t know any of the people we’ve signed up to ride with, will they all be much better than me?
I don’t know the exact route we’re taking, will it be very hilly?
It’s very windy, will that affect my ability to go fast enough and to get up the hills?

etc, etc, etc

It looks like I’m going to have to plumb the hidden depths.

Later note: Bike ride complete. I wasn’t the fastest in the group but I wasn’t the slowest either and I was probably the oldest there. It was very windy but I still got up all the hills and even did some overtaking on the way up some of them. I must have more hidden strength than I thought!!
