Looks nice out there this morning, so we'll be out for a pleasant ride around the coast.

Sun out now. Boding well for tomorrows bike ride.

Morning all, been out across the fields with the dog, coffee drunk at the cafe, and bulbs now planted in the garden and containers. Going out for lunch shortly with MrsP and our son. Hopefully he's paying.

I've been out this morning, my usual Thursday Hatton loop slightly shortened by a road closure, still 53 miles though, and who ever it was that said the winds would be light was lying, it was as hard and slow as Tuesday's ride. A good turn out at the cafe as well, there was a dozen of us there, it was a shame I had to leave after an hour.

I may be the guilty party re the wind. Been out for 50 and the last 10 into a cross head wind was torture!

Crossing Coventry at the start was fun despite the tail end of the rush hour being unusually busy, I had a tail wind at that point, once out of the city it seemed to be mostly a cross wind, but when I left the cafe the 23 miles home seemed to be all into a headwind. By the time I was crossing the city again on the way home I'd run out of legs and had nothing left.
