Early ride this morning, 5am start, usual road route, nothing unusual happened. Still feeling good (yay), felt fast, WAS fast

I definately didn’t need overshoes, a jacket, long sleeve jersey and winter gloves though. It was a tropical 8 degrees!

The BB on the road bike is creaking like a bugger. I’ll have to sort that or it’ll drive me insane on Sunday. Thanks for the route advice on the previous post – I think I’m going to do the short Pendle Pedal route – this, plus the ride to and from the loop will give me about 110 hilly miles. If anyone wants to join in, I’m setting off at 5…
