Sunday 15th 38F/3C [8.40] A sunny start with rain later is forecast. Already windy from the south. Peaking at 6C/43F and 10m/s.
Up at 8am after another disturbed night.
Where can I go for a ride? I'd have to wrap up against the cold.
Tomorrow's therapy session will have to be reached in pouring rain. 11km with a strong headwind! Easier coming back. The Morris Minor is in for a service. It's a cooking week as well! Though the forecast for Thursday is light winds and sunny.
I used a cycling app on my PC to discover my usual route to Assens. Is, in fact, the shortest. It follows mostly narrow, winding lanes with very little traffic. Though quite hilly in places this hardly matters on the e-bike.
The stated duration of the ride is 40 minutes. That would be on a normal bike. Wet autumn leaves are a consideration at the moment. I found plenty of these on the cycle paths yesterday. Though the bike remained steady. The Schwalbe 2.4" "Super-Moto" tires are perfect for these conditions. I have never lost grip on a corner in 15,000km.
The route I drive to town is via a busy main road. Which offers no protection for cyclists. Where the speed limit is completely voluntary and the road is very exposed. Totally unsuitable for cycling. Fortunately there are are alternative routes.
10.40 Back from my walk. Much cooler and windy too. Despite the sunshine.
11.30 Just a shopping ride. With possible detours.
