Just did a metric century around the outskirts of Christchurch on the Mercian. First 25km were brilliant as there was no wind and very little traffic other than cyclists. The Northeast wind picked and got stronger as my ride went on and about half my ride was into it.
I haven't ridden my road bike for a while so I expect to have stiff shoulders and neck tomorrow. Still it was a nice ride and a very pleasant way to spend a warm Sunday morning.
