16°C, light onshore & light clouds.
There’s no squeezing past those fences. There’s no visible reason why it’s closed though. I took a detour north & under the bridge and from underneath, no visible reason.

Mild December 70k
A longer ride today in fair weather. It’s a little above average for December.
Warm October.
22°C, milky sun and a light SW.
I’ve been unwell for over a week now. Nothing serious but enough to deter me from cycling. Today, I ventured out but was aware of the empty feeling all the while.
Paddy Wagon: I deal conditions
Kona Paddy Wagon, sunny & warm, no wind 21°C, dry
Today’s conditions are idewal for riding the single-speed. It’s windless and warm. I whizzed along at a comfortable pace.
Fixed 60
Kona Paddy Wagon, 22°C, light NE, no cloud.
A grand day out.
Dirty country.
12°C, half cloud, no wind and dry.
Good ride with some considerable improvement in the tendonitis. It stiffened up a little in the last 5 miles, but that’s all. It’s all on the mend.
Bad weather soon.
6°C, light NW breeze, dry and light.
Better get some miles in. We’re expecting cold wintery weather this coming week. There may be snow. It’s only a few weeks to equinox and I’d like 1,000 miles by then. After this, I have 20 miles to go.
Tendonitis is still a problem. It clears and returns unpredictably. Cycling seems to help leading the stiffness reduced after a ride. Some days, but still limp.
No.2, volumetric cloud.
6°C, light W, cold but clear and dry (mostly).
Set out in a morning of sun with a grey cloud looming. The forecast promised 0% chance of rain but there it was. A small cloud but slow moving. I turned back home to get a better raincoat. The rain was slow enough to stay in for lunch and then go back out. The rest of the day was very good. Also, I used the green machines.
Fixed in wind.
8°C, moderate S, dry but damp.
It’s tough riding into the wind for long periods on a single-speed. The muscle burn builds up and slows you down.
The roads are cleared.

The Queen’s funeral is today and we get a bank holiday. This has cleared the roads and, pretty much, the only people you see are dog walkers and cyclists. Rather like a cup final, this makes for an excellent cycling day. It means I don’t have to avoid those routes that carry tricky traffic . I also means no cafes are open nor any shops. I got lucky though, about half way there was a petrol station where I got snacks.
