As nice and pleasant as the weather was yesterday, it was a whole different story today. It had rained quite a bit last night but the temperature had also dropped considerably during the latter part of the night. Whence I had 18 degrees C yesterday, today I only managed 7 degrees C average during my ride.
I had more or less plans to ride the SVK 65K, or at least selected parts of it . As it turned out I started on the trail not far from my home but soon discovered the trail was wet and to top things off, it began to rain slightly. A light drizzle but with the low temperatures and the wind that got bad once you were out of the forest I didn't feel too inclined to ride more than about an hour or so. What a pity the SVK ride didn't go through yesterday. It would have yielded them a lot more attendance and it would have yielded me more than only selected bits and pieces of their track. As it stood, I inclined myself before the weather deities and decided to call it a day after doing a loop around Valduc. The rain was getting more intense and my Nokian NBX Lites were meeting their limits on the slippery trail.
Spring has begun, and yesterday and most of last week indeed felt like spring, but today was an off-key note in the carmina burana.
