Miles: 112
The chilly east wind that dominated the second half of last week was still in evidence as week 13 got underway, but things began to warm up by the weekend.
Monday was sunny but chilly. I dragged myself out before teatime, returning with 9.5 miles. I got distracted by watching the cricket in the evening (the exciting final day of New Zealand v England at Auckland), so didn't add to that. I just about got an hour's cycling done on Tuesday afternoon, slowly moving to 21 miles in the process. That east wind was still blowing, which made it harder work than usual. Another half an hour's ride in the evening moved things on to 29 miles. Wednesday's weather was again fine but cold. I was feeling a bit rough though, so didn't go out on my bike. To compensate, I went out for a bit longer than usual in the evening, coming home with 38 miles.
Thursday was sunny but chilly. I got back on track with an hour's ride in the afternoon, progressing to 52 miles along the way. This became 60 miles in the evening. Friday arrived. Good Friday, as it happened. I got out for a spin in the afternoon and returned with 72 miles. Another ride in the evening saw me roll home just short of 80 miles. Saturday was sunny and it felt warm. A sign of things to come, hopefully. I cycled into town as usual that afternoon. I got back with 89 miles but didn't have time to do my customary supplementary ride before tea as I was off out that evening to see Buzzcocks in Kendal. And very good they were too.
Sunday 31st March marked the arrival of British Summer Time. It's always a point in the cycling calendar that I look forward to as it heralds the approach of those long summer days and evening bike rides in daylight. I required just 11 miles to get the obligatory ton, and the weather was good. I went out for an hour in the afternoon and came home with 103 miles. There was time in the evening for another half an hour's ride, so I eventually halted with exactly 112.
