Today's Ride

No pics to show for it, but after a frustrating week of pre-Christmas shopping expeditions, home improvements and unexpected visitors, managed to escape on the road bike for a sunny late-afternoon blast. 32km in an hour and a quarter, with 300m climbing.

Well, on the out-and-back route, the breeze was in my teeth most of the way, but coming back it propelled me to a speedy homeward leg which felt fantastic. In the coming days, with kids home and social duties taking priority, it's going to be a case of shooting out opportunistically to get a few bike miles in. My devious plan is to go in the mornings when the youngsters are indulging in their propensity for late rising.

Good plan. Sadly I'm the visitor and have no bike with me to do the same.
