Very windy out there today, 40+ mph in the early afternoon, but conditions had improved markedly by the time I mounted the X at 1550-ish. Still pretty windy though. But unusually mild, about 12C I think.
I did a Bypasser. I only had half an hour before sunset but it was lovely out there in the dark. Especially in the open between Norton and Orton. Listened to the commentary about David Cameron returning to government and Suella leaving it, on 5 Live.
Unbelievably, yet again this morning the weather forecast had warned of rain later in the afternoon, then later claimed that it wouldn’t rain. And of course the rain did come down, for the last half hour. Still – it was worth it for a very enjoyable run out.
Back on 35.45 miles. 5677 done this year now, so 6,000 miles in 2023 looks nailed down.
In 2020 I set myself a target of doing 6214 miles, or 10,000km. I could well do the same this year without particularly having tried to. Not sure why it’s been such a high-scoring year really.
