10th November - quick sprint

The sun was shining, the roads were dry, my afternoon finished early so I shot home & shot out on 'Belle' racing ahead of the sunset!
Did the 16 mile Rothwell/Harrington/Loddington circuit as fast as I could in the chilly NE wind.
Felt fast & for the conditions it was but I couldn't beat the 1 hour mark!
Light fading rapidly I just made it back in time - I HATE WINTER SHORT DAYS....
Good to be riding again.....roll on the Spring!
