2020 RR X CCC When you only have a spare hour to ride.
12.10.20
Ride 7 - 308.77 miles to go.
Kicked started the week with my go to loop when you only have a spare hour to ride. A fifteen mile route around the lower sections of Rivington.
The weather as you can see from the photos below was pretty dull (flattest grey sky you can imagine). The beautiful autumn blue skies of yesterday already feel like a long time ago.
It can be really hard to find the motivation to head out even for an hour when the weather is like this. Your enthusiasm disappears and it is a real mental battle to just get your kit on, get on your bike and pedal. Ride 7 was just this type of ride.
Knowing you have 300 miles to go and that doing an hours work will not make any kind of immediate dent in that total… sucks.
BUT it all counts and of course edges you ever so slightly closer to your goal.
Just gotta keep goin' and rollin' with this English autumn weather.
231.27 miles down. 293.73 to go!
Ps - Yes that is a Zipp front wheel and a DT Swiss rear wheel (DT courtesy of Thatto Cycles whilst my Zipp is in cycling hospital).
Pps - Your support would mean the World to me and even more so to The Arthritis Foundation…
