Just two of us started ou tonight (Greg & myself) on what turned out to be a very cold evening. However conditions were otherwise good with little wind and bone dry. Mind you,the roads had been gritted so we were cautious on the corners. There were traffic lights on North Road, but despite catching them on red nearly every time we were able to shoot through as the road was clear and only a short stretch was coned off.
The plan was to increase to nine laps but at a steady pace. Steven joined us on lap 6, but had a minor off when doing a u-turn in the dark. This led to a 25 sec delay in what was an otherwise very disciplined and consistent session with 8 of the 9 laps between 6:41 and 6:48. A 54:40-odd for 8 laps and 61:30 for 9 laps.
The aim up until Xmas is to keep steady and (for those who want too) building up to 10 or12laps.
The ride home was possible the coldest riding I have EVER done and I totally lost feeling in toes & fingers.
Not around next week, so see you the week after.
