Another day, another ride.  On dry roads, which was vaguely astounding.  Mim and I were both in take it easy mode – I’m properly lazy at the moment – and it was darn nippy out there.  Due to the time constraints, our sloth, the weather, and the fact that we ride to be sociable, we opted for the very easy, roads likely to be clear, option and went straight out to Sweets for coffee and back.

And it was fine.  We rode, we chatted, we drank coffee & peppermint tea, and then we rode home again.  Simple as.  We didn’t notice the hideous northerly wind on the way out for obvious reasons, but man did it become apparent on the way back.  Bitter!  I gather it’s going to be like that for a while…time to dig out the winter hat I think.  And possibly the baselayer tights.  Can’t be much more I can wear and still have my limbs flex!

Sweets is expanding – presumably to make warm room for all the cyclists who love it there.  And in case you’re interested, they’re open to cyclists on Christmas Eve between 10:00am and 12:00pm.  I think a Christmas ride may be in order :).
