Soak

did 16km around a good chunk of Llandegla this morning (taking in some of the amazingly fun 'new-to-me' red stuff ) and rather chuffed'ly set a decent pb on one of the segments (known properly as 'Rollercoaster' but on Strava it's been named something daft). now all I need to do is get up the main slog of a climb NOT IN GRANNY GEAR then my fitness will be better for getting better times on some of the other stuff.

got home absolutely soaked in mud and sweat to an empty house, a tank full of hot water and a bowl of home-made macaroni cheeeeeeeese.

Bliss.
