tiring commute today

[al78]

I've been on the folding bike for the last week because my road bike is in the LBS to have a wheel rebuilt (why does it take a week to get a bike repaired when you can get a car repaired the same day?). Still had some residual achiness in my legs from yesterdays commute but set off anyway, only to find the wind was in my face from the off. My commute is pretty much in the same direction all the way to work so if the wind is in my face starting off it will be in my face every inch of the ride. Took me a bloody hour to do 10 miles, felt like I had just done an alpine climb when I eventually got to work. Only consellation is that it was a beautiful sunny day.

Will ring the LBS tomorrow to find out when my road bike will be done as I could do with it for the Sunday club ride.

It was windy this morning, I couldn't make much progress on my road bike.

Nice and light when I left though.

Think of it as a harder workout. Your legs will be just that little bit stronger as a result.

LOL I only wish that were true. These days I just get more tired, not fitter.
