Bonnet x 2 after work today

[mcdurdin]

I'll be riding home that way from Kingston; what time will you be on Bonnet? Note, I'll be slow as I am not 100% well so no efforts for me!

its going the wrong way.

early morning ride down in cloudy conditions and a nice tail wind of 25kms and a balmy 9 degrees

coming back at noon it will be heavy rain, 8 degrees and a 40km head wind. Just the conditions RobRollin thrives in.

[master6]
