Training begins

Hit the road for the first time today - I faffed around all morning waiting for the weather to improve, but it just got steadily worse - more rain and the wind was blowing a gale.  In the end I just went for it - much to the shock of Ann "you can't go out in this weather".

Just a quick ride along to Crammond and back, and then repeated.  12 miles in total.  On the way out the wind was in my face - I'm sure I was only averaging about 8 mph but coming back the speed was up and the going easy - hopefully we'll have the tail wind for a thousand miles, or I'm in trouble !!
