Ride 26/02/2022

Well at least today I wasn’t on my own There were 10 of us today on a dry but windy day. Usual bun run to the cafe stop and then home again but at Redcraigs I would be leaving the group to do some extra miles. Having the group to shelter me from the wind was handy to start with but once on my own I would be feeling the full force of it. This wasn’t an issue when it’s a tail wind but OMG once I hit the east side of Loch Leven I was slammed by it, I barely got any faster than 13-14 mph and that was with putting down close to 300 watts! I had this pretty much all the way home and since I was looking to do 70 miles today it hurt. Glad to be back home and completed the distance but I’m shattered now, so 70 miles clocked up at a shy off 16 mph avg speed, need to stay off my legs for the rest of the day
