Managed 150 miles this month over 8 rides (average 18.75 miles). You can tell the dark nights are drawing in but the main hindrance in November has been the wind. I have not known a month since I have been cycling like it!
One particular highlight was my first ever mountain bike expedition to Dalby Forest.
It was a totally different experience riding on the road. I felt scared and exhilarated at the same time as we whipped round the red route. I blogged about the ride here.
So on to December now, need to get some miles in to keep the winter weight piling on. Already done 29 miles but I need to up this as the scales are not lying! I have put 3 lbs already this month.
I cursed the wind more times than I can remember in November! Always seemed to be a headwind on the way home from work…..
Every ride out and in, always a headwind. Bloody nightmare.
