snow ride
The term is Cabin Fever I think? Nearly three weeks without riding a bike was starting to play havoc with my nerves and well being. I was irritable, moody, and on edge with everyone all the time.
So waking up to driving wintry showers this Sunday still wasn’t enough to put me off a couple of hours mtb. Once out of bridlington the weather improved and the four intrepid old men found ourselves in glorious sunshine albeit very cold, and riding on empty roads.
We had great fun on the back lanes around the local wolds, laughing and swapping banter like teenagers, and there were spills and slips as we navigated the packed snow and black ice.
It took me a couple of hours until my feet thawed out but the great mood that the ride engendered is still with me and will sustain me for a while yet.
