Out with the Old Gits today, a good turn out considering the cold weather, 18 hardy souls started today. This winter must be toughening us up. It was the 'reverse route' and that does seem to be a more popular trip out for the lads. Must admit, a bad choice of bike for me, used the old mountain bike which is so much heavier than the road bike and it seemed to be a drag pushing that round. In fact, after tea and toast at Caffles went back to Weston the least hilly way, only a fraction shorter but mainly flat. The east wind behind helped as well. Others who had commitments also did the same and it ended up about half did the full loop, the sick, lame, wounded and their carers took the easier option.
It is fair to say, the last 5 miles were quite pleasant in the warm sunshine, but having seen the long range forecast earlier, did not get too excited, NE winds from Russia may well have an impact at the weekend. An enjoyable ride overall, covered 20 miles today but did not stop to take photographs.
