On a wet and windy day I decided to go with the 09:00 wrecking crew as I didn’t think anyone would turn up for the 10:00 ride. Given the rain I was dressed accordingly but despite the weather forecast it didn’t rain for most of the ride only a few spots here and there much to my surprise. Even on the 09:00 there were only 3 of us and the decision was made not to stop for a cafe stop, just as well I was packing a lot of energy gels. I was able to keep up with the other riders the whole way round but it did cost me 6 energy gels and ironically enough todays ride wasn’t any faster than yesterday. Anyway by the time I got back home I was still a sweaty mess as today was quite warm but I’m not wrecked so I’ll live with that
