Ride 06/01/2024 Pt1

A ride of 2 half’s, literally, So it was a very cold, frosty start to this mornings ride, the main roads were fine but the side roads were a bit dicey. 9 of us on the bun run this morning and we took the roads least treacherous which was why we went a slightly different route to the cafe stop, coming at it from the Coalsnaughton side rather than the usual Forestmill side. I think this was the first time I actually didn’t freeze my arse off on these types of days, I had 5 layers on and 2 sets of gloves, and it actually paid off, my toes did get a little cold towards the cafe stop but we weren’t far from the cafe at this point so I was able to warm them up once we hit the cafe. The only issue I faced was my Garmin telling me I only had 4% battery life left, which was why I stopped the ride there and saved it as I didn’t think it would get me back home again, but that actually turned out differently
