Part of me thinks there should be no excuses for not maintaining training momentum for an undertaking of this magnitude ...
But life has conspired this last week or so to stop me getting out.
This was my first experience cycling in very bad weather, and it seemed mad to do it, but I reckon I have to experience and train in all kinds of weather. It's the only way to find out how stuff (including me) works under duress.
Cold and wet, wind blowing the bike off course on exposed sections - even felt the wind behind me a couple of times and I don't think that's ever happened before. Usually any forward motion is more than the prevailing wind speed so you always feel the wind in your face, but this was very strong. Had to slow down on some dowhills as the rain was stinging my face too hard.
Stayed on the road for the vast majority but it was getting dark near the end so I did the last few km through the woods with my new lights :)
34km, 2hrs 15min
