Just got back from a 70 mile round trip to Settle. After battling over to Settle in the headwind I thought the wind assisted run home would have been great...
...The reality was that there was a nasty gusty headwind for about 80% of the way back. It was wet too and I got lost a couple of times in the Barnoldswick area which was annoying and ended up on a couple of A roads for a bit. Cycling into strong wind is not fun at all.
It could have been so much worse though. Look at the state of my tyre! I think I was lucky today.
By the way, why do I never get lost in nice places either? It was a pretty rough housing estate in Barlick today where I finally admitted defeat and reached for Google Maps.
Last time we did a repair like that one, it didn't work out so well. 70 miles and that's the only damage... not too bad really!
ReplyDeleteHa ha that's true. Have you got that pic anywhere? I'll put it up here if you do!
