I've been for a bimble this morning, 54 miles, my Countesthorpe loop, conditions similar to Tuesday , mucky under foot, cold bright and sunny with a stiff breeze, great fun on the way out with the tail wind, a serious grovel into the breeze on the way back, a 14mph average on the way out and only 13mph on the way back. With the cafe's being closed I've been stopping by the roadside for ten minutes about half way round and having a cereal bar, we had run out of cereal bars today so I had a small chocolate bar, it wasn't enough, by the time I'd got to Monks Kirby on the way back my legs were fading fast, by the time I got home I was on the point of going bonk, I shall have to get some malt loaf next time I go shopping, Thats another good winter bike ride done.
