• Brutal bike ride

    From AMuzi@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 24 07:25:38 2025
    I was happy for the sudden warmth (34F) and the extra
    minutes of sun every day now but not happy with a humid
    15mph wind. Overall, OK for February.

    Not current video, but impressive!

    Finally was warmer yesterday and I went out early still pretty cold at
    25 degrees buy no wind. I did 47 miles and it was warmer by then over 33
    when done. I must say I was working on riding out of the saddle more for periods of about 20 revolutions but pretty tired when done. I was very
    cold and the cold zaps my energy and strength. Did the indoor trainer
    today more wind and did not want to make a fight of anything.

    It's 33 ATM. A forecast of thunderstorms in the afternoon, but
    they never get that right. I think last night was 28.
    Um .... that's all centigrade.Translating ... it's around 92F
    now. Not enough to sweat. Our last winter was hotter than that, thanks
    to all the man-made fires.

    It’s flip flopping between very wet just above freezing though will feel colder, was biblically wet in Wales last Sunday! And almost 10 degrees Centigrade and sunny which it should be tomorrow so have a short ride with
    a friend planned and catch up at a cafe with another!

    Dutch having headwind world championships! Been a few videos and maybe even
    on tv? But essentially wait for a big storm but still within realms of
    vague safety expectations.

    Ie in the same vein as the cheese rolling or bog snorkelling and so on!
