Mink eat mainly mammals

The one that survived didn't have any marks, but I cant say for sure what happened.

Strong gusty wind with showers this morning. At one time I wouldn't have ridden in that but I managed 28 miles, so quite happy with that given the conditions. I did use the wind to have an all out effort on an uphill segment and was amazed when I downloaded it to find I had just managed the QOM, albeit by 1 second. Feels a bit like cheating using the wind to your advantage but I am sure there's loads out there that do the same.

Well done Queenie! It sounds like you've still got a touch of winter up there so I wont tell you its a lovely spring morning down here in the south...........

We've to get more strong winds tomorrow then a quieter couple of days then maybe some more wind again. I would rather cycle in pouring wind than rain any day. I'm not the most powerful of riders and the slightest headwind really slows me down drastically.

I know what you mean about the wind. Being quite small I find crosswinds a particular danger at times!

Mo - what were you on last night? (must have been really good...) last time I checked wind did not pour... even Scottish wind has its limits you know
but at least we only have 1 copy of it now...

That was funny. Gave me a good laugh to start the day

Ha, ha......I usually read my posts before hitting send. Don't know what happened there. Lol.

Did my first 50k today which I was happy about , last few days I have passed a Deer and it stood watching me as I rode past, this morning it was in about 20 pieces on the road looked like it had just been hit as well.

Did a group ride today - or at least about 25 miles of it was - had to get to Windsor first.
It is saying something when I thought this was an easy ride

45.5 miles at 15.4 mph with about 1 mile 2.2 milesmissed out in the middle - only 715 feet of climbing

I know what you mean @Mo1959

 

[BrynCP]

Did 57 miles today, previous longest 47 miles. I would have really liked to do another 5miles (for 100km) but I just didn't have it in me. Avg moving speed was only 12.6mph which is about as fast as I go on average over longer rides.

My legs are aching now!
