I don't believe it the weather forecast is actually reporting a tailwind for my journey home :D

That's like never happens, will it last??? only 3.5hrs to go

calls IT to order a HUGE screen for up to the minute Wiltshire weather reports...
Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    To ensure a tailwind for last Sunday's 3 counties charity ride, I had chicken jalfreizi and lots of beer on Saturday night.

    I didn't have any persistent drafters :twisted:

    Calling yourself to order a huge screen? Seems excessive... :P

    Tailwinds don't really exist, any cyclist knows that ;)

    I had a tailwind this morning for the first time in what seems like ages. Very nice.
