Saturday: 40 mile road ride with Cycliste to just north of Newmarket and back. We got within 8 miles of home before it started raining. Then, on the last stretch into the wind, we got caught in a hailstorm and had to stop to shelter behind the only building in sight. The wind was sufficiently vigorous then when I stopped the bike got blown out of my hands. It then binned it down for the rest of the ride, which was at least with the wind behind us. Squelchy.
Sunday: Did round 3 of the Thetford Forest MTB winter series. Went for the 2 hour race, rather than the 4 hour option, and did 3 laps in 2hr25min. It rained for almost the entire time. When I got home not only did I have to hose down my bike, but also my SPD boots, Camelbak, shorts and jersey. Also squelchy.
