Long weekend extending into Monday today, rode up Norton Summit again and down Montacute road. Nighttime was 5 celsius in the city, but probably sub zero in the hills. Grass covered in frost, saw my own breath etc.
I felt ridiculously slow on the way up and even more so plus jelly legged on the ridge over to the descent. Proper fast people overtaking me and everything. There are some seriously strong cyclists around here, I gotta say.
Again, I didn't stop on the most scenic bits because that's where you're also grinding up the hill., but I did take those shots at a random spot where my stem cap started rattling and I needed to fasten it.
Descent was so cold I couldn't feel my hands and toes anymore. Not used to cold weather down here in Oz.
