First miles of 2020 done

[Sunny Portrush]

Always like to try and get out on New Year`s Day so went out early as it was looking very glum. Just a quick scoot as the wind picked up and it started to rain. Naturally, as I type this, there`s now a lovely blue sky and not a breath of wind - typical! HNY

Got to be honest, it's going to be a few days before I pull out the bike again.

One of the advantages of practically being tee-total these days, I can be out and about early in the morning. Saw a few doing the "walk of shame" lol

And here`s my effort - https://www.strava.com/activities/2972224730

I'm not long up having got to sleep around 3, but do have plan to meet a friend for coffee at 2 around 10 miles away. I may need paracetamol first!

there`s now

I thought this said "theres snow" to start with! Where are you, Finland?

Slightly different story at my end, having no friends but a gorgeous 2 year old I was in bed by 10 and a sleep till the fireworks started.

Not been out due to grotty weather. BUT.....I am going to pick up a new bike today - a 6 month old Boardman 8.8 HYB that is immaculate apparently.

I thought I’d investigate why the handling on my Hybrid had gone a bit ‘iffy’ yesterday. I stripped the headset down.

yeah, that’ll be the reason then.
So I fitted new headset cups and bearings, and it’s handling as it should again now. I’m on a 20 ( odd ) mike test ride at present, I’ve stopped into a hostelry, because it’s started raining.

I had planned to get out early on the Giant today, woke up early, despite feeling like I'm coming down with something, been sneezing and coughing out of the blue all morning. Still hoping to get a few laps in at least before its dark but, failing this my next will be Saturday now.

I was up and out by 5.15 am and had a chilly but nice 36+ mile ride this morning long may it continue

Got 23 miles in this morning. Feeling a bit unfit after Christmas cheese, so the last few miles were a struggle!

Like you I have been suffering with the same symptoms since Boxing Day.Today is the first time I have felt like doing anything.Keeping off the bike till I feel 100%. No doubt the weather will have deteriorated bythen.

Keep positive.

Roads a bit frosty, I'll wait until this afternoon.

Just about to set off to grab a few miles (It will only be a few too! ) I had a walk out round Tockholes this morning so I don't want to overdo it...
