Wind was the order of the day today. Thankfully not from my bottom. Ha.
It was one of those ‘sideways winds’ days, where it feels like I’m tracking at a 45 degree angle in order to go forwards. And then the wind suddenly dies down and you lurch into the middle of the road. Not dangerous at all.
According to the weather it is due to rain pretty much full on for the rest of the week from … well, now. There’s no sign of the rain just yet, but the ominous winds don’t fill me with hope. Expecting the rest of the week to be indoors only I was determined to sneak in one last outdoor hurrah before skulking on to the turbo.
Strangely today it felt like a much longer ride than it was. It felt closer to two hours when it only came in at 1h 20m. I think partly this was because the first ~30 minutes was a little meandering. I’ll admit it, I got lost, ended up on some paths I’d never been before, but they had turnstiles so I had to keep stopping, unclipping, going through, and then repeating. Nightmare.
After that fiasco I decided to head back towards roads I knew, ensuring I could go largely without having to stop for traffic lights or other such things.
So yeah, not a huge right lot to write home about today. Just a good 900 calorie burn and then back home, to sit at the computer, frantically refreshing the jobs boards. Fun times, it ain’t.
