I found a gap between the torrential showers and howling winds this morning and got my bike out for a quick spish, splash and squelch on the South Down.

I wondered why my HRM wasn’t working, and then remembered I hadn’t put the chest strap on, then somehow managed to wipe my Map My Ride Route as well – don’t you just love senior moments.

Anyway it was another snails pace short ride but it keeps my legs working.
