Damn, I know that feeling!!
First ride in months last week, then 6 solid days of rain and two days where the big wet just didn't dry.
I finally got back out there this morning. It was 5 degrees C at 4:30 this morning but there was no wind and no fog so it was an excellent morning for riding. My legs got a little cold on the down hills, but otherwise the temperature didn't even matter. Still not back to my old distances, still got a lingering cough at times but I managed 3/4 distance today and even managed to avoid being hit by someone who either didn't see me or just didn't give way.
Think today will be the only ride this week too, rain is coming tomorrow and on Thursday it's predicted we are going to get between 70 and 100mm. I don't think the rivers here will flood and cross the roads but with that much on top of what we've had and even more to come after the big event anything is possible
Today: 22.85km
MTD: 36.85
