This morning Mark and I cut another lap around the city and along the Bridle track. Compared to last weekend the weather was a lot nicer, no rain and very little wind.
This made things quite a bit easier and we got along at quite a nice clip. As a result we cut it out quite a bit quicker:
So it's been a long time since the last little excursion along the Bridle track but today was the day to fix that little issue. The weather was not the best but we went anyway - this time in an anti-clockwise direction.
Leaving Mark's place it was pretty chilly with the odd spit of rain so we were both sporting light jackets and wishing for gloves. Not very far up the road the rain stopped and we warmed up a bit.
Depending on which direction we were heading in or what sort of shelter we had the wind made itself familiar with us but besides that it wasn't too bad. Down along the river front the damage to the tracks we saw last time had all been fixed and it was only pedestrians using the entire width of the track that slowed us up. We only took one wee diversion off the main track to enjoy a little blast through the trees:
By this time we'd done 20 or so km so I was feeling it a little - especially heading into the wind - but we kept on trucking. We ended up getting one last shower as we neared the turn-off that would take us away from the river and up the hill to Mark's place.
Another pretty good pedal of just over 30km. The hot shower at home afterwards was pretty good too...
