I didn't intend to do another post this quickly, but the most exciting thing happened here today. the SUN came out. For anyone that is a bit puzzled by this , here is a picture to remind you what it looks like. It appears from time to time in the sky and makes it feel warmer. I also makes you feel a lot better and encourages you to get out on the bike.
So after watching the rain for the morning, there was a glorious opportunity to enjoy a ride without getting wet. It would have been silly not to take advantage. Ruth went to see a garden and I headed for the hills. Having done nothing of significance for the last 2 weeks, it was a wonderful feeling to be on the road for a sensible amount of time. It wasn't wall to wall sun, but while it was shining, it nearly felt warm. (I know what that feels like because I can remember it, just, from March.) So, sticking to familiar routes, I enjoyed 52 miles with no more than 30 spots of rain hitting me in the entire trip.
I have to say that I wasn't sure how it would go as this was my first real ride since the 100 miles. So I am relieved to report that I felt fine at the end of it. I now hope to get another go on Saturday and, hopefully, make it a bit longer.
And to complete the happiness, Luton have survived a late scare to make the BSP play-off final - against York. That will be interesting. There has been a series of these matches over the last three years and they have often been quite firey.
And now the usual appeal - Please sponsor me!.
