Went for a 10 mile spin out to Mounthalie trig point ND255666 (Caithness, Scotland)
With a 20-30 mph NW wind blowing I made the mistake of going out with the wind on my back, averaged 20mph on the way out and only 8mph on the way home.
I was delighted with ride despite the grind as it's the longest fixed gear ride since having a mechanical heart valve installed almost 2 years ago. I rode not long after the op but struggled badly, felt terrible and it kind of scared me. I'm feeling like this ride just got me over it.
