Nice Cycle home on a Windy Day
I was dreading the cycle home after a tough journey into work today. On the way in it seamed that I was cycling into a head wind the whole time and dispite cycling the hardest I've ever done it still took 56mins. As the day went on the wind got stronger and the rain came down.
As I started out on my journey the rain was starting to fall and then I derailed my chain and was thinking it would be a nasty one but then once back on the road the sun came out and it all turned nice. The strong wind was sheltered on the way up the Antrim Road until I got to the zoo so it was only a bother for about a mile and when I go on the top road the wind was behind be for most of it and I was flying. Lovely ride in the end.
