Fed up of wind and drizzle. Need to do a couple of hours on the bike. Road bike was miserable yesterday into gusting rainy headwinds.
February usually isn’t that bad a month but this month I’ve had snow, ice and very strong winds. But as I’m sure you know its never as bad as you think its going to be.
It was blowing a gale yesterday and I was dreading my 20 mile ride home – I head south towards the coast and its a very exposed route across a moor so always windy anyway but if its remotely strong it’s very hard work. It wasn’t half as bad as I expected last night though, well the wind was but the ride itself was fine, if you get into the right frame of mind – its going to take you a lot longer than usual and you just need to spin. Thing my average speed last night about 12mph, this morning was just under 18mph so I’m at least getting the benefit one way.
