Hi all
Another lovely Sunday afternoon.
With the morning being wet and blowing a gale, this afternoon had dried out quite a bit and while the wind was still pretty strong and gusting, it was still good enough to enjoy battling the wind.
After getting family/household stuff done and having lunch, I spent the early afternoon in front of the box watching Maxima Roma. Another great race this weekend after Strade Bianche yesterday.
I thought I would go out and get a few miles in on the Merckx and head round the coast, up Dunnett Head and then cross country to home. It was definately windy and up here with no tree's or hills to slow it down, it just seems to grind you down. It was still nice enough weather, not too cold, no rain just windy and a bit sort of hazy. Not the best for picture taking, but I took a few anyway.
Once back home I still felt like a few more miles so asked Heather and Caleb if they wanted to head out to JOG's and meet up for a coffee and cake. Theres a route out thats right on 10 miles so I could give it a bit of effort and see where I'm at, or more to the piont how far I am from where I was
especially after not just a winter riding on the dark side (mtb), but with the majority of the last 12 months riding on the dark side, neglecting my roadie roots
Anyway after getting quite a bit of riding in the last month or so I am pleased I'm not as poor in form as I thought. Though I will never be as fast as I THINK I was
Anyway, a nice coffee and cake with the family and then home for late walk for the dogs.
A nice afternoon riding and also with the family.
Again, just thought I'd share a nice day, hope everyone else had a nice one.
