Yesterday was what you might call a 'character-building' ride. It was cold, windy and miserable. The wind shifted as I went round my loop so that is was always straight in my face. I really didn't want to go out on the bike when I woke up, not because of the weather, but because I was tired and ached. Eventually I got out but after a mere 30km knew it wasn't such a good idea. Pedalling downhill, because of the wind, didn't really help morale.
Bonked completely after 40km and had to walk up a hill, in cleats, on slippery leaves. Oh what fun. Cut the route short and crawled home after 56km. Pretty pathetic and I hope it was just a bad day at the office. At least it wasn't raining.
