Well last evening was a complete contrast to the above post. It was supposed to me one of my club training nights but everyone was wimping out probably due to the strong winds and repeated hailstorms throughout the day
Initially, I decided I'd join the couch brigade too but after stewing for 45mins I went out anyway but on the heavy fixie rather than the good bike (sorry Viking you are good honest
) . It looked quite bright west but I was unsure of light so headed north, the rain then started about 7:15pm and got heavier and heavier! Its an old roman road so once you're going that way there isn't much opportunity to change direction but the minute I got to Wandsford where I could the rain stopped. I then circled back south where it started to rain again but only drizzle and I realised that I had ample time to go further (I should have done that initially
) so I looped down by Stilton and came back by Yaxley and Farcet. RWGPS puts it at 31.2miles with 1050ft of climbing; which to be honest is quite flat but the heavy fixie at least made it seem like a bit of a workout
), temp must have dropped 5-10 degrees !!!
but blowy so I crawled up to a place in Rutland and got blown back. Something like this I think (although I drew it on the Tablet last night and RWGPS is blocked at work)
but I did have a bacon and brie pannini and an ice cream
