Classic winter riding - set out into blinding low sun and cold (2.5deg) and then pretty soon the sun is gone from the road and you can just see it in the high clouds.
I forced myselt around my "Standard B" course - one I would normally do in 50 mins when on form (and in the summer...) but now taking more than a hour.
The benefit will come in the summer - who was it said medals are won in the winter - well I feel I've put a down payment on one come next summer!
