I did not go on a ride since the 19th of November , a good excuse and I can forget doing the 4000KM this year as I think I only have about 300KM done . However I did have a ggod excuse. And that is that I was suffering from bronchitis , a very uncomfortable ailment . I went to the docter and she gave me the necessary tablets with instruction not to take them until it decided whether it was bacterial or viral - so the long laster took over . Jennifer went into the bed mnext door as I was coughing and splurting and her choir was singing on the 15th Dec . So she wanted her regulation sleep . So very unsatisfactory . Anyway she did sing excellently and her choir as well. Anyway the cycle . It was cold and it is December . The problem was that the sun seemed to be continuously in your eyes . I was tred after doing those few miles and I should be eble to do a lot more than 40KM but I am not 100% yet - we are getting there . I could not for the life of me decide which way to go on Barbertstown South but eventually I did . There were a lot of road works in the area and also at that junction . Anyhow I'm home at last .
