Bit Breezy early doors splendid resistance training.
Yep occupied holiday cottages here as well, nothing to do with me though.

Went out for an earlyish bike ride this morning to beat the crowds. 45 miles and 4,000ft in just under 3hrs. Very windy, with the odd gust nearly catching me out.
The highlight of the ride was being chased by a very angry alsatian type dog which broke off from its owner and 6 companions. I was shifting, with a tailwind, when it started running alongside me and I noticed it had a muzzle on which didn't hide its gnashing teeth. In fact it brushed my calf a couple of times it was that close. I dared not stop and fortunately the road started to drop steeply downhill so eventually, after about 400 yds, I was able to drop him.
The silver lining was that on returning home and downloading my ride onto Strava I found myself with a KOM for that segment.
I was surprised that I only saw 5 other cyclists out but perhaps the wind and forecast showers put them off. I managed to stay dry which was a bonus. The only other thing of interest was that the toilets at Parsley Hay on the High Peak Trail were open which in my view is a sensible move.
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
