Saturday loop.
18°C, light SW, bright sun turning milky.
Did a decent length with confidence bouyed by the trip to Mallorca a few days ago.
Equinox, warm.
18°C, sun & light SSE wind. Dry, perfect.
Spring Equinox is on the 20th this year since it’s not a leap year. Anyway, this marks the 2nd ride in shorts, Pure pleasure.
My ankle is still stiff but it’s getting better.
Warm March 8th
18°C, light SE, blue sky.
After riding yesterday, I still feel it today, so that means a slow outbound. Maybe I didn’t carbo-load enough last evening. This feeling hung over all morning, but after lunch at the cafe, it got better. Besides, what a gorgeous sunny day. Perfect conditions.
First: day of spring, outing on the Racelite.
9°C, dry & sunny, light westerly.
First outing for spring on the 1st March. It has new wheels (ok, secondhand). They’re the same again: Mavic Aksium. And they run nicely.
November: summer bike
We’re having a very mild autumn. 12-16°C has been typical this last few weeks. Last week was half term and for a few days, I was in shorts. Now in November and still riding the summer bike.

Tendonitis has left the left Achilles tendon and relocated to the right one. Hence, all these recent rides being short (20 to 35 miles).
42 Racelite Kms.
17°C with a brisk Westerly. A few short but heavy showers raced through.
That was good, not the most impressive average speed but it felt good . There was only the faintest stiffness from the Achilles Tendonitis which is a gratifying improvement.
42 Racelite miles
18°C, moderate Westerly and sunny later.
That felt good, I could have ridden more but home needs were pressing. Fine tuning the position has helped greatly, the bars are turned up a bit and the stem is shorter and higher. He aim was to ride up Bannister Lane, he nearest decent climb round here. My old fashioned, narrow gears means it’s all out of the saddle. After the summit, I usually feel refreshed.

Rode apace today. My cruising speed improved after the cafe stop.

18°C, light onshore breeze & full sun.
Since riding that Ridley the other day, I decided to raise the saddle a fair bit. The position had the saddle high and forward. Perhaps the previous.ruder was a time-trialist. Anyway, getting back on mine made it obvious that my seat was too low.
