New MTB Route

Went for a run in Wales in daylight, all my previous runs have been in the dark on my Welsh 5K route. Struggled with the running but did a 33 min 5K.

Trip to the doctor's, BP 140/100, also gave blood for sampling.

Went for a bike ride in the evening. Route is at the back of Moel Eilio, the new roads built by the loggers who've denuded the landscape.




Wore my new MTB cycling shoes, my first time out in cleats.




Here's a view of the start...



Here's a similar view when I finished...


A view of the output of my 10 Watt halide lamp...


True to form I did OK with the cleats until I got to the finish. I stopped at the gate then fell over sideways as I was too slow unclipping my feet. Nobody saw me, thankfully.

Here's a shot of the best thing about pickup trucks; the tailgate.

Full fry up
Loads of mince pies
Lamb roast
Baked apples
A few sweets - this is what happens when your mother cooks, your diet goes to ratshit.
