Today's Ride

Having kicked Covid firmly in the crotch and sent him packing I went straight into kitchen refit mode. Can't get to the bikes at the moment as the shed is full of tools and kitchen bits. I've begun swimming a couple days a week, which seems to be good for the hip.
Will hopefully be able to get back on the bike in the next week or so. Maybe there'll be a hint of summer by then!

In the sea i hope 🏊‍♂️🏖️
 
Headed out for a late quickie today clear the sweed......not sure it's worked but the ride was fun, a little wet and boggy in places but made the most of the break in rain. The sandy soil wont have done the drivetrain any favours haha. Rushed home as I thought the wife was going out at 7 but alas bit till 8 so could have gone a bit further or had a trail side brew.....next time

Monday morning.

Friday was a total washout, the week incomplete.
Today's forecast was looking pretty bleak. Looking out of the window suggested otherwise. I'll deal with any changes if and when.

8°c and sunny. Beautiful morning.

Breaking the speed limit and yet Penis Inferioris insisted on overtaking into a left hand bend. Fortunately he was alone, much like his sex life no doubt.

12°c and the sun gradually diminishing into an overcast sky. Absolutely flying: big high.

Reminders of the recent past are still troubling. So much still to resolve. Respite is found in immersive experiences. Riding hard demands focus. Injury is not an acceptable outcome. Be only in the moment. The mountains are now hills. The ride is salve for the wound.

9°c this morning
13°c this afternoon with a breeze.

Pace is improving. Bike is fabulous

The day began with promise. Risked shorts on a cool morning. Worth it.

The sunny morning faded to dark grey.
As I left for home the skies opened. After 200m I was soaked to the skin. The rain forming fast moving streams. The spray blurring my vision. After half distance the rain stopped and the sun came back out.

8°c - 14°c. Screenshot_20210526-180615_Gallery.jpg
