My first ride of 2010

Was bleeping cold!!!! "Only" 16.9 miles but bleeping hull, I was frozen within 2.7 miles! I did MTFU a bit but with temps of -6.9c (with wind chill) it was always going to be a struggle.

On the positive side, I did the "climb" up to Brocton from Penkridge without any problems, something I have never said before. Perhaps, next week, I will go over the major hill from Brocton to Shuggborough Hall. I think I might be up for it.
