Today's Ride

[db95]

44km, 421m of elevation and very cold fingers. Went for a hill I hadn't been up in nearly 3 months so around the time I quit smoking, not the most amazing thing at 0.56km, 47m gain and an average grade of 8.2% (hits 20% in some places) however had knocked off 37s in time and more importantly I didn't feel fucked at the top

Last few km were a bit ropey, on a shared tarmac path and thought to myself "whys everyone walking on the grass verge", got closer and realized the entire path had iced over. Fortunately made it home in one piece and then saw my saddle bag had somehow unzipped itself, luckily nothing lost.

Stayed closer to home today. Still some really high water levels out and about. The photo with the tower in it doesn’t come out great but was a small stream running down the track to the right of it.

Today's dryish ride, 26ish miles, legs felt heavy and tired but still lots of smiles riding another local loop

Was too late fumbling with my winter gloves and getting my camera out to catch the train going across! Amazing to think the bricks were fired onsite and the whole thing completed in a little over two years……..by hand!

Sad face only for the puncture! Looks like a lovely place for a ride. Probably tempting fate but having had a run of spoiled rides from flats I moved to tubeless and have had not issues for months now.

Near Corby isn't it? Sure I passed it on a day trip to Adrenaline Alley around 2008/2009. Shame daylight is so short now since there's a couple good ones in my region but not enough time to reach em, Hownsgill for example which I think is on the c2c route. Ah well, always next summer!
