Just more of the same here. Predictable is good when it is sun and good vibes.

today's ride can be described as one of those rides that are better than no ride at all. sunny and warm (26°C) at the start, shortly after that I realised that I overdressed. halfway the sun became covered, later the rain started too. also, I felt somehow disoriented for the whole ride. but I made it home safely after 35kms. at the end of the day it was still a win!

Quick one-hour lunchtime 20k on my usual route on gravel roads and tracks outside town. Summer is now in full swing which means cycling along with 3 or 4 flies orbiting your head and the ever-present danger of inhaling one.
Other than that, all pretty uneventful, although signs of the council clearing the land and preparing for development continue: what was a bumpy, eroded uphill track has been graded and levelled, making it much easier to negotiate.
And then home to work via a quick stop next to the 19th Century graveyard.

After a couple a days of winds, its nice to be out again. The seasons are definitely changing now at a pace. But in the low sun, its very pretty and I do forget how lucky it is to live in a very sparsely populated part of our island.
The winds claimed a few victims..... the sign say restricted byway.....errr...yes....very
Those signs always make me think of how many people have travelled these roads over the millenia....and how trivial my issues really are in the bigger scheme of things.
Have a good weekend guys and don't forget the clocks.

Colder one today.
10° and cloudy, had to turn back after a minute for warmer gear. I don't have the right equipment for this temp range. Levis and flannel shirt were fine until I started huffing and puffing and then came the sweat. I guess somehow I was lucky that it started raining, at least I wasn't hot for long
