Distance 20.9 miles
Height Gained 1405
Difficulty Moderate
Weather Cold wet and windy
Company Mal
Up until just a few minutes before I was due to go and meet Mal it was pouring down, so much so that if I had been going on my own I would have probably chickened out. It was a cold mornings ride and we encountered several small showers that were not enough to soak us but just enough to keep us cold and damp. Oddly enough in spite of that we enjoyed the ride as always. When we were almost home Mal's bike developed a problem, probably the bearings in the steering head, so the last couple of miles were taken very carefully.
