Real pedalling downhill territory in the Dales today. I've never used the MTB granny ring so much on road sections in my life. Utterly knackered.

It was a bit blustery round Nidderdale today. The road climb to Middlesmoor is always tough but into the wind it was a real challenge. Unfortunately it knackered me up for the rest of the ride. But freewheeling uphill later on was a odd sensation.

The trails were in very good condition though, very little mud

Very. Was in the Peaks this morning, some sections were like swimming through concrete, others were hotter than Spain & stiller than a statue. Lots of riders out though and not too many walkers...

Highlight was spotting Hora ๐Ÿ™‚

Did you- where???

When I got out of the car first thing I looked at the high wind and thought 'maybe it'd be better to give my flu another day to recover'. Glad I didn't though. In the trees wind was not a problem but ontop of WLT it was MENTAL. Weirdly on Winn Hill it wasn't.
