Today's Ride

Solid grey, light breeze 12-14 mph, 12-14 degrees. As mentioned by others, pitch black (BLACK!) early doors. Much less chaotic than yesterdays "storm". Whilst it got a bit bonkers, the wind was stronger last week.
My ankle is pretty much back to normal so great to put some power down without feeling any niggles. In that transitional season with mild nights, all the flies and winged creatures like to find still, warm spots, in sheltered country lanes. Let's just say I got my protein fix in advance of my eggs and tomato breakfast

Grizedale today in Lake District.
Was absolutely knackered by the end as most of it was uphill tbh
Did some red paths and some single track. but then came off the single track because of the proper big rocks and gravel and it scared the shite out of me as I don’t have 57” wheels or rear suspension or massive pedals. Proper bone shaking it was.
And then it rained halfway through🌧🌧
To think I want to switch to rigid..

Pretty wet so quite slippery
Ankle still a touch swollen but movement is 95% normal, so a spin on Bee last night ducking the showers...
...followed by as much elevation as I could cram into an early doors ride on the road. It's mad that it's "safer" in the dark on the country lanes, although you do need to watch out for kamikaze rabbits. Loved getting the lungs pumping out of Mousehole. Light 10-12 SW breeze, and distinct 2-3 degree difference between the south and west sides of the peninsula: 10-13/14 degrees. Lovely stuff with Lizard point clear as day.

Autumn came quietly. The view is breathtaking
