Zwift - Emily's Short Mix on Ocean Lava Cliffside Loop in Watopia

OK so it was forecast to be wet, really wet so I'd given a sweet surrender to the idea of getting out however when I woke up it was dry, grey but dry. Wishing I was lucky and the forecast was wrong I couldn't resist the temptation to jump out and get in some miles for the charity cycling challenge rather than shed a tear all day about not getting out. So quickly grabbed the Allez and headed out.

Decided just to loop around Thorntonhall as it should be relatively traffic free and I could just potter about without too many people getting in the way, or me getting in their way I should say however quickly realised I was just paying myself lip service and as soon as I left the main roads the caffeine kicked in.

Unfortunately the rain that was forecast arrived just as I broke away and there was no way to hold back the river between the fields on some of the country lanes however without too many people about it still was a good chance to push the legs  rather than go home with what I could have done still a sweet little mystery. 

Three loops was enough as I did need to get home and do some work, and I headed back to East Kilbride, one last dig on the uphill segment out of Thorntonhall to East Kilbride but on the last corner rather than feel weightless my legs just gave in which so I just sat up and rolled to the junction as I still needed to get up the road without preferable under my own steam than with a little help from my friends.

Luckily all the commuting traffic in East Kilbride was unseasonably friendly, giving plenty of room with passes compared to usual commuting traffic, I guess love is all around this time. Legs started to feel a bit fresher as I headed over the last few miles until I realised that I was actually sitting in the wee ring, oops. Anyway really glad I got out this morning as if the weather stays like this there's no way I'll make it tonight, think in regards to the bike it's goodnight girl and all I want to do this evening is open a beer and watch the Tour de France which shouldn't surprise too many people. .
