Thanks for the kind words.
On the topic of compliments, your positive and cheerful attitude on Saturday when we were badly up against the weather was appreciated.
The ride itself is a good one, there being more to see in the landscape than I previously realised.
Presumably, there will always be some wind out there, but what we had on Saturday was fierce - Andy remarked the raindrops were stinging his face as they belted against it.
Lesser men would have weakened, but were we downhearted?
Absolutely, but we did a good a job of not showing it, which is half the battle.
