My plan to do an outdoor evening ride changed when clouds rolled in and it started raining here. I decided to do a turbo trainer ride instead...
I often end up not eating a proper meal after an evening turbo session - it is either too late to start preparing food or I feel tired and can't be bothered to.
I therefore decided this time that I would get the food ready first. I made a big salad and split it into two portions, one for today and the other for tomorrow.
I had been so focussed on making the salad that I hadn't noticed that the rain had stopped and the sun was shining again!
Well, I wasn't going to use the turbo on a sunny evening, so I went back to Plan A!
I did a little tour of some of the local hills. I changed my mind about doing the moderate Bacup Road climb as I was passing the bottom of the much steeper Pexwood Road climb, and slogged my way up that instead. I stopped to take a couple of photos on the way up.
Looking back towards Todmorden:
Looking forwards towards Littleborough:
As I got to the summit, dark clouds rolled in again so I decided that a 90 minute ride would be enough for today. I will try to get a much longer ride in over the weekend.
