21°C, full sun, soft breeze.

Lockdown: before the chill.

Got another one
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.
Rain, rain…
7°C, heavy rain and strong SW wind.
Dennis strikes
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.
Storm to storm
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
Muddy hours on the Mustang.
8°C, grey start turning to rain.
Weather change: we’ve gone from cold and clear to mild and damp. My house hasn’t kept up. The windows were steamed up this morning, remarkably – on the outside! The house must be colder than the air.

Catch-up.
Sunny and warm week.In an attempt to make up for last week, I’ve been out at least once a day. Over the last 2 weeks, I’ve somehow gained 2 kilos in weight.
Good Thursday.
19°C, milky sin, warm dry with medium E breeze.
Gravel Roads: this route never strayed far from home but was a decent outing. These gravel roads may need tougher tyres, winter CX tyres are fine on wet grass but some of the stones are sharp.
