Once again I braved Devil's Dyke 7.30 Sunday morning and it was ......................... wonderful! The countryside is especially beautiful before the world wakes up, isn't it? Just me, the rabbits, the cows, birds and not much else.
Managed to knock 15 minutes off my usual time. Don't know whether that's a good thing or not - I wasn't going for speed, though. Made it up there mostly in top gear, dropped to second on the final long hill and dropped off my bike at the top! A toughy, to be sure, but lovely. Attempting to post a few photos here but unsuccessful so far ... even OH can't manage it so it's obviously not too easy on this blogsite! He's gone off scouting for some decent software to help me out ...
More next week. Planning a longer, flatter route on Wednesday or Thursday ... Meanwhile, though, stamina's looking good after the summer break. Back to karate and kickboxing. Recommend it to anyone.
