Good ride, dodged the rain, forecast was nearly right much as it rained early on but had stoped by 09:00 but looked as though it might all morning, didn’t even get a spot though! We were able to sit outside for coffee, met a nice chap who was riding round covering Lancs, Yorks and Edinburgh, nice but rather him than me and he suffers from Lyme disease after a tic bite! Need to take more care and be more vigilant when out walking, especially in shorts and sandals! We noticed he rides in sandals, by Shimano! Will have to look into that. Might be worthwhile. We kept the ride short due to the prospect of rain so only 20 miles but was very enjoyable, A lot of the hills felt easier than expected whether that means I’m getting fitter I’m not sure. Had my jacket on to start but had to drop it down to my waist after a few miles as was just too warm, with hindsight I would’ve been better not bringing it!
