7°C, brisk W, dry with white cloud,

Got another cold. I decided to use the rule that it’s okay to train if you’re cold is only above the neck. Still, I had no real energy so plodded along the sea wall slowly.

7°C, heavy rain and strong SW wind.

7°C, rain and wind.


8°C, between showers, some are hail bearing.
Rode the Arrow and enjoyed a return to form (to some extent). Those long cranks feel fine, I can really stretch my legs on the cruise sections.
8°C, strong SW wind, gusts to 50mph. Sunshine too.

Floods are a feature on the landscape today. I left off the overshoes because the temperature was okay forgetting that it’s easy to get wet feet riding through a flood. As it turns out, that is what happened.
9°C, sunny with light NW.

Slow but steady ride since I’m still recovering from a heavy cold. Oh, well, the coffee was good
Training, 1 day, Gold. They’re planning Practice and Qualifying on the slopes of Snowdon.
The is was a nice job. The kids, the school staff were great. These Gold Award students were obviously high fliers.

The biggest chunk of the day was mapping and route cards. Their routes are in familiar parts of Snowdonia, well trodden by me and Rosie over the years. The only negative was the enormous drive for one day’s work.. For this reason I’m not doing this run again.
