Day 2 - Xmas Day

Xmas Day and the challenge continues. Early start to the day to get the ride done as early as possible




Today's ride was a blustery but warm ride. Forecasted temps were around 12 degrees at noon although about an hour into my ride I saw the Garmin register around 6. Scattered appearances from the Sun did indeed warm things up throughout the ride.

Winds were forecasted around 20mph from the SW.

Ride was an anti clockwise crossing loop so I battled a little headwind at the start before heading on the Southern section of the loop. Once I was moving towards the E things started to shift and fun times kicked in. Once I reached the turning point on the Northern section it felt like I had hit a brick wall battling the headwind. Battling on I persevered through this arduous section of the ride until I was eventually heading in an Easterly direction back to where I started.

Quite a respectable ride given the winds I had to battle throughout the ride.
