A swift 50 miles this morning with 4 others from the club. There's a sneaky cold wind blowing today. Better give mi chain a wipe down with the tea towel.

I was all cracked up to beat my 122miles today but the wind down here was unreal and after 45miles id had enough so i canned it and came home and ran 11miles as well.
Your right the wind was sneaky. I was struggling big time.
I went out on my bike this morning and got really really cold.
Obviously I need to wear more clothes and not be such a scaredy cat on the steep down hills.
At least I kept peddling and didn't lie down in the hedgerow which is what I felt like doing.
you need some fancy arm and leg warmers
A few rides to log here: Saturday was supposed to go out with the bf's tri club, but the bf lost some spokes, so we cut it short... still, 20-ish miles done at reasonable pace...
Sunday: was supposed to do 50-ish miles, then decided on a 30 mile round trip with a coffee stop at a friend I had not seen in a long time in the middle. Was on Dartmoor and got blown off the road, bike and all, it was so windy (and cold, but unlike Milli I was wearing enough clothes, so that did not matter). Just as well I was clipped in, or I would have been chasing the bike over the moor... I did not say no when my friend suggested he'd drop me back, as it was dangerously windy...
Today I cycled to work in the snow on the crossbike, which was good! It has excellent grip on the snow, even on the steep uphills...
Track tonight...
So cold this morning!
Knocking on 70 miles social ride today. Cafe shut at Clapham so back to the Settledown in Settle for beef & veg hash and a side of chips! Good day out with dry roads on the way back and cold winter sun all day - no tan though.
I can only dream of 70 mile Ady
Fortunately, 70 feels like a walk in the park! I really hope nothing breaks!!I can only dream of 70 mile Ady
50 miles on Sunday in the freezing cold, brrrrr, I had to force myself off the bike as I had frozen onto it, then collapsed in a heap for hours with the heating on high, the woodburner roaring, hot soup, hot drinks and wrapped up in a blanket in front of the fire, feeling cold for hours!
About 50 kms last night on the track, which was brilliant and not so cold, although the heating wasn't on, so not particualrly warm either...
Turbo tonight...
