This is turning into a bitch about the weather which is ridiculous considering it's the UK; it's always unpredictable. That said, has spring turned up yet? It's fucking June next week!
Another week and half of insane wind, horizontal "showers" and temperatures barely scraping 10 degrees meant soggy runs and no rides, until yesterday early evening with a quick 45 minute spin before I walked the dog. The sun was desperately trying to break through and when it did, you could feel the heat....for all of 10 seconds
With a clear, still morning on the cards today, there was no stopping me on a sold 2 hour loop around the southern tip of the county; Sennen, St Buryan, Lamorna (and that hill), Paul (he's good, thanks for asking), Lower Drift, Sancreed and home. Started a chilly 7, rising to about 10/11 with partial sunny skies. Still needed the thin jacket but it was nice to get a sweat on for once.
I do like this spot at Sancreed, taking in the 180 degree view of where I've come from, including Lamorna on the far left, that small "nick" on the horizon. Of course tomorrow is back to the cold and drizzle but hope is around the corner...I've seen numbers that go up to <gasp> 18 degrees
