It was a dark, dull, wet and windy start to today’s ride, so it’s back onto the winter bike in full wet gear and given the weather I was expecting to be riding this on my own. I was pleasantly surprised to see 3 other people turn up for this ride when I got to the start. We had a head wind as per usual to the cafe stop but given we were going kinda slow it wasn’t a big deal to sit all the way at the front. I decided to, given the weather, to have coffee and scrambled egg roll rather than the usual orange juice and scrambled egg roll, I was still a bit cold by the time we got to the cafe stop. After the cafe stop the weather started to clear up a bit and we still had some showers on the way home, but it was starting to get brighter and sunny by the time I got home. No extra miles today given the weather, so 45 miles clocked up at a steady pace of 14 mph.
