Ride 21/10/2023

Another ride, another wet day thanks to storm Babet 5 of us on the bun run this morning, rain and wind making life difficult per usual. We did start with a tailwind but of course this would be a head wind on the way back. Thankfully it wasn’t hammering it down like it has been for the last 2 days, and he wind had calmed down a bit, but still tough to ride through. By the time we got to the cafe stop the rain had abated but I was still wet and although my hands were frozen on the way out, it’s still only 5 degrees out, they had at this point started to warm up a little bit, but I was still glad to get to the cafe stop and warm up a bit more. On the way back we were against the wind, so it was a bit of a slog back, but thankfully the sky’s had cleared and the sun had started to come out, the temps didn’t rise much but I wasn’t as cold on the way back as I was on the way out. Anyway no extra today so only 45 miles clocked up at 15 mph avg speed, and it looks like the same again tomorrow.
