Early morning start

After my experience on Tuesday evening, I decided to try going out first thing in the morning instead. Also, as I'm planning a long ride tomorrow, I did not really want to train this evening.

So, I got up at 5am & did my Effingham route as on Tuesday. This meant I was back at the house around the same time as I normally get up anyhow. I made sure I did the full 16 miles this time, and made it properly into Effingham. Also, because it was actually light, I did this extra distance in the same time as I did on Tuesday.

Jules had made me some breakfast & offered to drive me to the station, so after having a bike ride and some breakfast at home (neither of which I normally do in the morning), I ended up on an earlier train than I typically get.

This is going to be great - now its light enough and not icy in the mornings!

I checked the weather for my ride tomorrow though. Oh dear. Looks like its going to be tough. Sleet/snow, strong winds from the NW, and cold temperatures....
