Oh my! the weather

[jonathanw]

it's amazing what a little sunshine will do, even up here in the frozen north

20 miles into work instead of 15, and 25 back. Suffered in the heat this evening, but who cares...first day of the year without a jacket, overshoes and full length gloves.

Looking forward to developing a cyclists tan !!!! not likely here N of Inverness, but I can but dream

My mate moved up to Inverness to drive trains from down in the bleak midlands, goes out with MFCC regularly.

He's told me there have been occasions recently when it has been sunnier up in Inverness than down here.

80 miles with the CTC midweek wayfarers today - well slathered with P20 before setting off. Face and arms well protected! Shame i forgot that all "shorts" rides so far this year had been in 3/4 length = lobster pink and sore from knee to ankle!

......... there have been occasions recently when it has been sunnier up in Inverness than down here.

Yes indeed, but they are 2 months apart.

..but in all seriousness, we don't do too badly, it's just that today and yesterday have been scorchio! and I have been enjoying the cycling like it should be....so rain coat on tomorrow, I guess

 

[Cal44]

Hopefully no rain coats Jonathanw...supposed to be 25c tomorrow, in Ayrshire at least, I'm Getting out on it as much as I can as 2 year old at nursery and got the day off! hope its decent up Inverness way too.

Hee hee. Did you get a KOM or a PR on any segments today ? (this is flemmish)

Nope, I CBA. Was on the Hyb

My homeward journey yesterday was tough, even though I kept hydrated through the day!

Nice to ride in just a short sleeved top and shorts though!

 

[PJ79LIZARD]

Last night on the last part of my loop home, I was drinking my own sweat it was dripping off my brow and blowing in my mouth. Not nice lol. It's even hotter today, I've lost nearly half a stone this week. It must be the dehydration and extra miles!

Interval training is supposed to be from low to high effort levels. I just went between stupidly high & sadomasochisticly high effort levels.
