was hoping to go out and ride before breakfast today; with the ascent of the Hartside Pass being my top target. Not a great nights sleep due to the heat and an early start from the people doing roadworks in the council car-park across the road.....so elected to do one of the easier spins around Greystoke and Ullswater....
Another lovely morning but also a wind - as per usual when one is road cycling it turned into a headwind...and my word was I feeling it after the last few days in the heat.....
Turning down a minor road into Dacre I was confronted with a lovely 12% hill for about 300m - it felt like climbing the Ventoux...not good....
Still did manage about 16 miles at a reasonable rate and have got some fresh air into the lungs and some spinning into the legs.....
