Got out on the road bike for the first time since early September! It's like having a new bike all over again...only out for an hour ('tis Friday night, not the time for solo bike rides!). felt good, even though I've yet to fit the winter mudguards (having trouble fitting them) and definatley needed them... even if the roads hadn't been wet, there's a lot of dodging goes on round here, as I live near several stables. Unsurprisingly way off my segment times, but not a bad overall avg for me of 16.3mph for 15 easy miles.

Weather been pretty fine here bar the odd heavy shower (one of) and a few light ones, couldn't get out (but the way my eye is I am glad in a way) as we have three more children arriving in the next week or so. So we are having to do some mods to the house.
The 11 year old that lives with us his twin brother and younger brother of 6, their 14 yr sister, we currently have their 18 yr sister and her husband, her twin brother and their father with us. That will make 10.

Rain isn't long off. Roads are saturated with standing water and it is foggy. Summer seems like a distant memory. It is going to be a real effort just to manage a few miles I think.

- Somewhere wet & hilly in NW England.
Pouring down - however, I will progress my puncture repair today. Guess that counts as Newbie Progress.

Barely noticed myself Nigel, but thanks. Well I got out for a short run this morning. Still struggling slightly with this virus type thing which makes my breathing feel harder and my throat gets a bit sore if I work too hard. Maybe slightly easier today though, she says hopefully
That's been my lowest mileage week since way back in March. Only 76 miles for the week. Roads had some huge puddles on them....had to be careful not to be approaching them at the same time as a car or I would have got an early bath. Made up a bucket of warm water and car shampoo and gave the bike a wash when I got back as it was filthy.

Didn't get up as early as I wanted but managed a quick loop, had to be back early as MIL is over for lunch today (apparently I'm needed for cleaning duties !).
Calf is now sore after yesterday's fall and yes I managed to get wet in a big downpour.
