Well it was a cold start today, not frozen solid like the past few rides, I was only wearing 4 layers rather than 5 but enough for me to have cold hands and toes to start with, before I warmed up later on. Quite a big turn out today, over 20 riders, given the weather this was a little bit surprising, don’t get me wrong, it’s a bright sunny day, but that just usually means it’s bloody cold. We stuck to main roads again to avoid any icy patches before hitting the cafe stop. The cafe was mobbed today, loads of cyclists in there today along with the “normal” people. The usual scrambled egg roll and orange juice before heading home, and I could tell it was a bit warmer today as I wasn’t freezing my arse off on the way back. In fact because we had done a different route I was short on mileage so I did a loop around Cowdenbeath on my own and managed to work up a sweat to get my target of 50 miles. So mileage meet at an avg speed of 16 mph which is fine for this time of year.
