Today's Ride

I bloody love this time of year ...after a day of rather boring meetings, I couldn't wait to get out

It always amazes me that, apart from where some cricket was being played, the park is often almost deserted this time of the evening. It's one of the best times of the day.

The only time I ever wasted was in an office.
 
Free day, good excuse to get some good miles in. Heat, humidity and headwinds nearly ended me, definitely need to be taking two bottles out with me. First proper ride out in the Shimano XC702s too; very nice feeling shoe, big improvement over the Decathlon Triban gravel shoes I had prior. Great if you like the aesthetics of road shoes but want to keep 2 bolt SPD.

New route day! I've been staring at Google maps the last couple of days trying to figure out a potential new loop for my lunch break spins.

The goal was to find something with: A decent climb, Mix of terrain (road & track), Able to bang it out in an hour

It was way too hot for a climb today (29°), but got to grab the opportunities when they arrive!

After a couple of difficult days at work I was in agony this morning and my mindset really wasn't where I want it to be. Decided a short ride would help. Ended up doing just over 20 miles which wasn't too bad considering a mile in I was struggling with the pain.

It was a reminder of why I'm still fighting and with only 5 weeks until judgement day I need to focus on this goal now even if it means making some sacrifices.
