Lonely tree

Tuesday 12th Jan 2016 (1235)

The forecast today was rain all day but I woke to blue sky and sunshine. I decided to make the most of it and went out on the bike. My loop is now two figures of eight, a smaller one inside a bigger one, and I can take any combination of the loops. Today I decided to do the full outside of the big loop, without yesterday's diversion, in the opposite direction to yesterday. 

I really enjoyed the ride, despite the headwind most of the way. When I got to the final turn I didn't want to stop. I'm guessing the route would have been about 10.5 miles if I'd gone straight home, which proves how far out I was yesterday! However, I didn't feel like going home so I added another loop to it by continuing along the coach road. It was fine apart from the last ten minutes when the storm caught up with me and I faced a headwind with hailstones, ouch! Total distance 14 miles. Apart from the fresh air and exercise the rhythm of the bike is helping.
