Change of routine this weekend and as I was having a day off work I went for an early morning 3 hr cycle. I decided to stick to the "B" roads which were quiet and the threatening grey/black clouds didn't dump on me as the strong wind chased them away. The tri bars I had fitted have made a real difference as you present less of an obstacle to the wind and therefore go faster however it does make you slightly less stable on the bike which is tricky in the wind.
Add to that some more resurfacing work and it was very close to total wipe out as the ball bearings were 2 inches deep and it was like riding on punctured tires. You know you are close to coming off when you start speaking to yourself - aloud!
On my journey today I was thinking that it's hard to believe that I have now been riding for 2 years with my first sprint triathlon in Nairn in September 2008. What a journey and there's more to come - thanks for sharing it with me and supporting my efforts to raise money for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres. If you haven't had a chance so far then there is a link on this site to my charity page.
