Went for a nice hike today. From sea level to the top of a mountain. 17.7km and just under 1,000m of height gain.
Despite the mild day the wind was very brisk at the summit.

On yesterday’s ride I got buzzed by a passing SmartCar, you know those micro-cars? First time ever buzzed by one.
The car may be smart but the driver was not.

The worst is a hot climb with a slight tailwind. You just bake.
