18°C, moderate westerly & little cloud.
This ride felt like it should. For weeks, it felt like I was forcing myself to go. Today though, I rolled along smoothly and didn’t tire excessively.

Dull July ride
19°C, cloudy and humid. Light onshore breeze.
Warm summer road ride.
18°C, light NW, bright sun & dry.
Bees: On the return leg was green lane, a single-track with no hedges and exposed to the strong wind. These roads are elevated slightly which makes the wind worse. Anyway, suddenly, I was in the middle of a swarm of bees. There were about 50 of them, heading south. They’re a problem if trapped in your clothes, that’s when they’ll sting. I could feel them bouncing off my jersey but none were trapped. I got away with it.

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

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.
