9°C sunny with blustery SW. Drying out with many large puddles remaining.
There’s colour in the landscape after 7 weeks of grey.
Service note: the gear change is terrible.

60km of fun. I had a few mechanicals, the chain needed tensioning better & the wheel bearings were also loose.
Kona Paddy Wagon, 5°C, sunny with light northerly, dry
The weather has finally broken; we had more than 5 weeks of grey drizzle and SE wind. Now it has swung around and gone cold.
This bike definitely feels lighter and quick compared with the Mustang.
8-12°C, moderate southerly, brightening up afternoon.
Mustang, Sunday ride. A damp & at times, drizzly start but the afternoon was almost spring-like.
4°C, very strong E, some brief showers, ‘feelslike’ -2°C
Outward was really hard today. A fierce cold easterly was the real barrier. At times, I got out the saddle on level ground in the lowest gear. There aren’t many days like this. Gusts swept across fields or whipped between houses. Those reduced speed down to 6mph. It was more like winching myself along.

At its root, the weather is the same it has been all year. Okay, temperatures have varied between 4-8°C, but we’re dominated by easterly winds, almost all between east & south south east. I’m watching to see any long term change coming.
