Ranmore Common and Staple Lane
Deceptively cold wind today, but beautiful sunny afternoon otherwise. A combination of having ridden 100 miles already this week, raced on Tuesday evening and generally poor conditioning meant that I had very little to offer on the climbs. Surprisingly and pathetically slow at times.

I probably noted this before, but last summer I genuinely wasn't aware of the climb from Effingham Junction up to Ranmore Common. Six months later and I'm aware of every slight change in the gradient. I need to drop the weight and get the strength back.

Hit by a car on the way home which pulled out of a side road opposite me and then squeezed through a gap by a pedestrian crossing, brushing me. I didn't come off and there was no damage, but he/she drove off without stopping. Furious. Called the police but got the registration number wrong.

Seriously windy on the way back. Cycling in a mini peloton past Millbank, a gust dropped the group's speed by about 5-10mph instantly, like cycling into treacle. Hard work. 6kph slower on the way home than the way in.

Orienteering race (night-o) 41:16 [4] 6.22 km (6:38 / km) +80m 6:14 / km
shoes: Inov8 MudClaw 330

SLOW Richmond Park Night-O
Good run finishing 5th out of 40. Disappointed with the final control where I lost THREE minutes looking slightly too short in the woodland. Deceptive distance in the dark.

Race pace 7:39.

Cycle Commuting (home to work to home) 1:49:33 [3] 43.8 km (24.0 kph) +156m
shoes: Specialized Secteur Elite 2012

Garmin irritatingly decided to throw a wobbly halfway in this morning - ran out of memory. Why can't it default to removing old records when I'm recording?

Fine on the way in. Good to be back on the bike after the snow.

Very wet and windy on the way back. Wind hard work on the Embankment, but particularly on the top of Richmond Park. Torrential with a river flowing down the road to Kingston Gate. A massive 1:11 to get home. Not surprising given the conditions.
