Over the Windy Hills. 20

Funny old weather we experience in the UK.  Roasting a couple of days ago, a strong westerly wind today that lowered the temperature by about 15 degrees. Still, nice to get out though.  Did a 20 mile circuit on 'Sparky' including some 'pimples' I would not normally try.  The map below includes below it, a profile of the ride indicating the hills. The climbing today was 968 feet.



Heading back to Weston ignored the Road Closed sign ( It wasn't. They workmen had all gone home ) and went through Thatcher's country, the big cider maker around here. Can't see any signs of apples on the trees yet. There is always a danger a late frost gets the blossom, time will tell.



Used the electric a fair bit on the way back mostly because of the strong headwind. Very useful having a battery I have to say.  This ride would have been a real struggle with the old bike.
