Feels Like Summer

Time on Bike: 2 Hours 55 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 48.14 Miles
Average Speed: 16.5 mph
Weight: 13st 13lb

Totals: 30 Hours 33 Minutes, 494 Miles, 16.17 mph

Well the sun came out and didn't it feel like summer? Went out for two hours on Sunday with only a short sleeved top on! The only foolish part was that I had breakfast (just a bowl of cereal) at about 9:30 am and then did some odd jobs about the home (varnishing the deck - that sort of thing!) which meant I didn't go out until just after noon and I hadn't taken on any more food. About 90 minutes into the ride I was feeling weak! Still completed a full tour of Bures, Lamarsh, Henny, Borley, Foxearth, Cavendish, Long Melford, Acton and Great Waldingfield !!! Joy!

The Wind and Rain Blows Through Me

Time on Bike: 2 Hours 3 Minutes
Distance Travelled: 33.22 Miles
Average Speed: 16.2mph
Weight: 13st 13lb

Totals: 9 Hours 25 Minutes, 148.86 Miles, 15.81mph

Finally took advantage of some fair weather and got out on the roads at the weekend, although the fair weather didn't last long. Cool sunshine turned into headwinds and by the time I got home I was pleased of the rest. My Sunday morning trek took me out to Lavenham, down to Bridge Street, up to Shimpling, up further to Stansted and then back down into Melford and up Tesco hill to home. Very satisfying.
The rain was with me again this am. After a pointless trip to take the kids to school, who informed me on my arrival that neither of them were going in, I donned waterproofs and took the 3.5 mile journey into the office. Wet head winds followed.
I am hoping that the mood will lighten during the day so my journey home is dry!!
