Errr sorry.
My fault.
First weekend I can ride for weeks after a hockey injury.
Are you talking proper hockey, or field hockey?

Proper hockey, not this dancing on ice in pads & helmets nonsense. ๐Ÿ˜€

Well, that was interesting/fun!

Had to use my head torch on a mix of low & high as there's something up with my Lumi battery. So, I had that mild paranoia that I was going to be plunged into darkness at any moment. I also had the film Dog Soldiers in my head because of all the deers' eyes I kept seeing.

There were some really cold sections - glad I stuck to leggings, rather than shorts.

Saw loads of deer, rabbits and 2 barn owls which always makes my evening.

Getting changed in dark car park listening to Jamie Cullum (sp?) on Radio 2 playing assorted jazz was a bit weird.

All in all a good evening topped off with a large chicken shish. Need to go & empty the car now!

Oh, and it was pretty much ideal riding conditions, to be honest. Too dry & Thetford is very sandy, so it's nice when there's a bit of moisture...

Still nice and dry up at Farleton Knott earlier, though it started raining on the way home. Cracking ride despite the double puncture on the last descent. ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

I was clearly on for a Strava KOM too. ๐Ÿ˜‰

It's due to rain for the next few days here but then get nice again next week according to this:
