Back on the bike today after some truly pigging awful weather for the last couple of days. Rain, 30mph crosswinds, and a lack of determination kept me off the bike. But today was BEAUTIFUL, if more than a little chilly - windstopper, fleecy-lined leggings, skiing mittens and a huge grin as the sun rose...

I Love It When These Things Happen
Morning Run - Three Beautiful Things
The disk of the sun just above the horizon as I started my run
The skylarks doing their duelling banjos thing above the fields

So although it was a beautiful cloud-free sunrise over the sea, it was time to start moving...
