Quite a decent cycling day – cooler, but warm enough for bare legs. However I have a long day tomorrow and other things to do today so I only wanted to do 25 or so this afternoon. I’d intended to set off after the Artemis I launch, but when it was delayed I guessed it was probably going to be scrubbed for today, so I set off at about 12:55pm.
A moderate wind was coming from the east, but since I wasn’t going far I decided I’d do a Twycrosser. I was going to come back along Gibbet Lane but changed my mind and did a u-turn on Burton Road to take the route back through Carlton.
Listened mostly to Sangita Myska on LBC, sitting in for Shelagh Fogarty and I must admit I had steam coming out of my ears after about half an hour of it. She either misunderstood or laughably misrepresented every topic she wanted to talk about, as she entertained a series of hysterically moronic callers. I so wish everyone didn’t get to vote, only a very few of us really know what we’re doing in a polling booth.
I got rained on, but only lightly and only for a few minutes. Mostly cloudy but the sun came out for the last two miles.
28.17 miles, bringing the total for August to 557 and that’ll be it for this month. If I hit the (pretty modest) targets for the remaining months, 2022 will be my third best year so far in distance terms.
