May Cycling

Just under 240 miles done this month (~770 YTD) -- no more precision due to odo battery exhaustion, so the summer bike will be starting from zero once again next time.

The month finally turned the corner from cool and wet with fortnightly bursts of winter, encouraging me out on a long ride to the south on the first Bank Holiday Monday, finally pushing the limits again after a couple of years. It reminded me why I don't go out in that direction much, since the journey gets forced through Saffron Walden, which is generally horrid in terms of long grinds on narrow busy roads.

The weather turning also meant that I spent much of the month catching up on the garden, rather than being out on two wheels; so only the one long ride so far this year.
