Despite the sore elbow I couldn't resist the invite for a local night ride Tuesday night with a few guys from work. The moon was a beautiful pale lemon crescent in the sky with a thin haze around it. The riding was wet, muddy and cold and I enjoyed every minute of it. Felt really good on the bike despite the lack of riding and general exercise recently. I'd been for a short run the day before in heavy rain and the legs felt heavy to begin with.
We started early so it was not quite dark when we left the house, and rode up to Irton Fell to meet up with everyone. Once the faffage was over, it was a muddy descent down to Sleathwaite, along by the side of the Ratty to Muncaster Mill, over to Fell Lane, up Fell Lane and down to the golf club, along the track to Muncaster Head farm, along Irton road, up Miterdale and back through the woods, quick cheeky trail through the woods and back home for tea.
Followed this with two days on the road bike to work, and a yoga session in the local village hall. Starting to feel a bit trimmer again!
