Properly warm, sunny weather today. A bit windy. I did pretty much my default route, a Twycross Bypasser. I think I’d have been surprised, a few weeks ago, to know that I’d do a relatively short route on a whole day off work like this after all the rubbish weather. But having done a long one on Wednesday I didn’t really fancy it. Other things to do!
I took the S Works.
Didn’t quite take enough lime-flavoured water; I’d run out by the end of the ride which is rare for me. I did actually dress a bit too warm, in a long-sleeved top. I guess after all the cold weather I’m just not used to the idea of going out in bare arms. Noticed that the bottle cage was a bit loose near Sheepy, but I’d brought an Allen key due to having just made a saddle height adjustment before I set off. Clearly I hadn’t tightened the bolts properly when I fitted a mini-pump mount the other day.
I was actually feeling a bit worn out by the time I completed 27.04 miles. Mostly the heat I think, but partly still not 100% recovered from 84 miles on Wednesday.
1460 done this year now, 720 more than this time last year.
