The heat is getting to me. I won’t complain. Nevertheless, i’m struggling to ride in the humid and sultry conditions. i opted not to race last weekend; the DNS has never been far away over the past few months, and went out for a Mendip ride instead.

I staggered under the flightpath of an orange aeroplane coming into land.
Today i struggled with a 6 mile ride home.
Are you a hay fever sufferer? I didn’t think I was until this year. Funny how the miniscule produce of seemingly harmless trees and bushes can reduce you to a snotty, heaving mess within minutes of leaving the house. Bring on the rain (what am I saying?).
