Horrible day, wet, cold (10C) and SW winds. Left at 2pm, WAY to late, hm at 6pm, sun down at 5:15! Soaked before Smythesdale I went CRAZEy at 1:00hr. Tough in headwind, struggled on the hills (there seemed to be heaps). Clearly my fitness is not yet back from pneumonia. Continual heavy showers ensured I stayed soaked and I found the weight on the shoe covers and thick gloves draining to keep moving. Oh, I weighed by gear (cloths, shoes, helmet) when home at 5.9kg! Dry weight is only ***. I never really felt comfortable to get the speed up. The legs felt strong, but not enough to pour the power on to get the speed. That said, I was also trying not to got too hard so as to keep the HR down, last weeks was WAY to high. In all, a terrible ride. One I'd like not to do again in a hurry.
