Having just thawed out from yesterday's Seaton short circuit, with a bit of Wetlands thrown in for good measure, I was hoping to get a longer ride this morning, however, nature had other plans for me. A change in wind direction has brought back the rain and a reoccurring pain in the tum has sealed my fate for today.
I'll check back at lunch time to see how the land lies but it looks as though we've more wet and windy stuff coming in and I may need to sit the next few days out. I know my legs will be at least happy with that decision!

Day 12 - Speed
After reaching the 5 mile distance yesterday, I switched today to focus on increasing speed and stamina.
Taking to the Short Circuit route, I made good progress on the first mile but the return was hard going. Having said that, I did take 4 minutes off my Week 1, Day 4 and 3 minutes off my stormy Day 10 rides over the same circuit, so definitely feel my fitness has to be improving.
Stats: 2.26 mi, 12m 42s, 145 kcal.

Day 10 - Short Circuit
With the temperature at -2c, snow under rubber and 60 mph westerly gusts, it was not going to be a long ride this morning. Along the seafront it was hard enough just to keep forward momentum!
This route has become my simple short circuit, starting and ending up hill, with a steep drop down to the sea and a long climb back to base. At the mid point, down on the seafront, there is the opportunity, when the winds have dropped, to add in additional 1 mile circuits following the Esplanade west and then back along Harbour Road. This does, however, seem to provide much amusement to those standing at the bus stop (red dot below).
The 5 mile barrier remains for another day!
