8°C, light SE, dry and light

There were plenty of other bike riders on the road this morning. Conditions were good too.

9°C, calm dry but grey.

A reasonable ride to Formby and back. The bike whizzed along in the still air. There’s lots of mud to watch for.

The previous rude was much slower and yesterday, I found out why. The rear wheel was very stiff so I serviced it. The cone bearing was very tight which must have knocked loads off the average speed. Mechanicals are usually an excuse for poor performance, but this time it was genuine.

7°C, calm and sunny

Kona Paddy Wagon, 10°C, dry (mostly) light S.
