I'm fed up with this weather!!


Everything I own is wet!! I've been gambling with the weather this week in cycling to and from work. Got away with it for 3 trips but tonight I got caught big time. It rained hard for the entire 40 minutes. I was truely soaked to the skin. Standing in the kitchen in my underwear I was still dripping!! With my cycling gear wet, my bike wet, the kitchen and bathroom both wet and big load of washing waiting to be dried it feels like everything I own is wet!!

I managed to get up Penhydd last weekend. Tested out my new rim, that's OK. Discovered I'm feeling very nervous on the trails, that's not OK!! I guess the fact that my ribcage is still just very slightly tender doesn't help. I got one jump a little wrong and landed on the edge of ditch. I recovered it but at the end of the track I was physically shaking. Hope I haven't lost my bottle!! I was happy with my pace on my extended Penhydd run, taking 2 hours 10 minutes. I feel ready to do justice to The Wall - it's about time I revisited my old test of the metal.
