Out again in the sunshine, doing the same ride as Thursday. I had planned to go further – perhaps up to Heathfield – but the heat was too much for me. Which is something I never thought I’d say in October!

The heat affected my speed, too, and I only managed 12.8mph: the slowest of the week. Still, at least the good weather has meant I’ve been able to get out a few times this week.

Cycle Log: Monday, 26 & Friday, 30 September

Two short rides, to pick up supplies from two different shops. Monday it was a five mile round trip to B & Q for paint and today the same distance to Asda to get something cool to drink. In days gone by, I would have gone by car or motorbike, but now it just feels better to cycle.

Glorious weather here today, and the decorating’s all done, so I just had to get out on the bike. Did the same ride as on Saturday (that really is fast becoming my standard ride) but a little slower – only 13.1mph average speed. I did, though, put the effort in on the hills and refused to go into a lower gear. So, slower but more effort.

Tomorrow’s weather is supposed to be good, too, but I’ve promised myself a nice long ride on my newly serviced motorbike, so doubt that I’ll have time for cycling as well.
