Bike - Gravel 1:52:22 [2] 36.28 km (3:06 / km) +639m 2:51 / km
Must have rained again last night as there was water aplenty on the roads. Saw quite a bit of them as I was moving very slowly. Lovely day and nice to be out, but wasn't enjoying it that much, so cut my planned route quite a bit short. Saw two hedgehogs, although unfortunately both had had sever involuntary height reduction and had not come out of it well.

A loop around the Wye from Chepstow with Rcro. Neither of us feeling at all energetic so taking it very easy - maybe climbing has a great impact on the body than I thought? Just about got good weather, but a bit of damp and a cold wind had me cold at the end. Very wet and slippery out, apparently it rained last night.

Bike - Road 34:35 [2] 12.96 km (2:40 / km) +25m 2:39 / km
IW. A bit damp and very quiet. Squirrels are on a mission to get run over, one of them very nearly achieved it.
5 PM
Bike - Road 32:30 [2] 12.89 km (2:31 / km) +45m 2:29 / km
HFW. Not a squirrel but something small and rapid that took it chances this evening, think it made it. A very wet last km.
7 PM
Climbing 45:00 [2]
Good session at Spot with Ake, Mark and Rcro. Worked quite hard.

Bike - Road 33:40 [2] 12.84 km (2:37 / km) +34m 2:35 / km
IW. Much better body this morning.
5 PM
Bike - Road 33:23 [2] 12.83 km (2:36 / km) +43m 2:34 / km
HFW. No hedgehogs and a helpful wind. Very dark. Forgot to say that someone had a driven a van into a tree by Harlequins rugby club last night. No idea how they managed it, it is a straight bit of road and plenty wide enough for a van.

Bike - Road 36:55 [2] 12.98 km (2:51 / km) +18m 2:49 / km
IW. Had an almost immediate opportunity to get GD44 back but I'm too nice! Caught him on the way in - the silly man was running on tarmac - gave him a nudge as I caught him but failed to fill it full of hate! Slow talking to him for a bit and with a fairly strong head wind, but also feeling last night a lot - must have put more effort in than I thought.
7 PM
Bike - Road 34:22 [2] 13.13 km (2:37 / km) +50m 2:34 / km
HFW. A bit later, which meant fewer people to avoid, which was nice, damp though, which wasn't so nice. Saw a fully healthy hedgehog this evening, though it almost wasn't, as it didn't know it's green cross code and I have to take some serious avoiding action not to it it. Wind behind me, much appreciated.

7 AM
Bike - Road 35:12 [2] 12.98 km (2:43 / km) +22m 2:41 / km
IW. Better prepared today with full length gloves not so cold though - no frost. Having to take it easy.
5 PM
Bike - Road 33:11 [2] 12.68 km (2:37 / km) +43m 2:34 / km
HFW. Enjoying the dry and the dark. Saw a hedgehog just before home who looked quite happy but had a major limp. Debated imprisoning it in the garden and see if I could get some help for it, but decided that it seemed to be managing well enough and then it would probably fix itself over its hibernation.
6 PM
Run - Trail 57:19 7.54 km (7:36 / km) +185m 6:46 / km
shoes: Salomon S-Lab 2019
MDC zombie run from Tongwynlais. Nice evening for it and set out for a nice warm up around the woods. A few new rules this year, meaning that the hunted had to keep moving and keep their lights on, which made for a much better game as a chasing zombie (I had been infected with the Brexit virus). Some good fast intervals in the terrain but lacking any endurance. Thumped by GD44 which I will not forget quickly and am planning my revenge...

7 AM
Bike - Road 34:43 [2] 12.97 km (2:41 / km) +21m 2:39 / km
IW. Quite a bit of frost this morning, was not expecting it. Not slippery but too cold for my fingerless gloves (so spent a lot of the times cycling with my hands in my armpits!). Thought that the clocks change had had a big effect of cyclist numbers until I worked out it was half-term. Nice morning.
6 PM
Bike - Road 36:04 [2] 12.8 km (2:49 / km) +46m 2:46 / km
HFW. Proper dark, but dry, so nice to be out. A few hold ups at the lights but thought that I was moving okay with the legs feeling yesterday, was surprised at how slow I was though!
