I've arranged to be picked up at the other end by my dad - once I can work out which way the predominant blow is coming from - the weather vane is just spinning!! And I've decided to leave it an hour or so to see what happens (as I type that the sun comes out - bluddy typical!!)

I find intervals by myself really difficult to do, so usually try and join in with club or other pals. I've just got a lunch time plod to do, so sunshine and windy is no problem. Assuming rain holds off til then. Last night's very windy and pretty cold 2 mile time trial with club I could cheerfully have cried off. So quite pleased that I went and did it. G

Meglet Mar 2019 10:58am, 14 Mar 2019 20,097 posts	Quote Pin Meglet Been out for 30 mins. It felt hard, and not just when I was into the wind. Bit at least I’ve been out.
