OMG! Brutal bike ride!

Boy, what a windy day today in south Wales! I was out the door at 8am with my cycling buddy Chris, only for him to say "it's windy out!". No sh*t! It was blowing a gale and to top it off, Chris choose the route and I think he found all the monster hills in the Vale of Glamorgan! A tough, hilly, windy 3 hours was had on the bike and you know what, I loved it! Sometimes the tough sessions are the most satisfying. It's these sessions that make you mentally strong as well as physically strong.

Time for some serious recovery now, stick some compression gear on, grab some food to refuel and maybe a snooze this afternoon. Happy days! Train smart guys!

Seems that it was windy all over the country today. Sounds like you had a nice ride though.

You're right there bud, the hardest rides are the most satisfying...once they're done and in the bank!

Indeed, good ride but tough, enjoyed the post training recovery even more! :-)
