Day 54

Back to the good bike as I thought the rain would hold off, and luckily it did. Wind was strong and I went the wrong direction first, so it was a bit of a struggle towards the end.
Only copped today, but the other day I was wearing Boards shorts, and as I passed some guy in Howth, he called out "Now you're talkin". Wore Boards kit today and only noticed as I was dressing that across the back of the shorts it says, now ye're talkin. Doh!

Really wasn't in the mood today and the wind really didn't help. Took the winter bike as was expecting rain, but forgot my gloves...
Not much to say except I didn't really enjoy much of todays spin.

Day 56

Bright and sunny but not as warm as it looks. Went out in shorts but with arm warmers and gilet (and gloves) and didn't need to shed any layers.
Wind was quite strong again, but not as bad as yesterday

Another dry and cool morning. Not as much wind today - which was good. Met Pat in Skerries by chance and rode with him most of the way which made for a nice change to spin and chat. Much more enjoyable than the past couple of dayas

Day 60

Last day!!
First club spin for me and a soggy morning for it. Group of 14 and finally can put some faces to names. Wasn't the nicest weather, but had 82km done by the time everyone split up so motored on to get the 100km done.
I'll get around to seeing just how much I did in the 60 days later. First I need to wash the bike, wash myself and then buy some beer!

Final totals:

2907km rode (I did another few rides with the kids to/from school and out and about, but didn't count these)
22705m elevation
2 punctures
9 and a bit days of commuting (one failed commute attempt due to a puncture )
12Kg weight lost
Finally got around to joining a club (and had a club spin today to end all this on)
