It's bitterly cold and very windy, at one point on my commute to work I was going downhill, standing up on the pedals and giving it all I have and I only managed 18mph !! man that wind was strong.

The journey home tonight was just as bad but with the added bonus of hail, every now and then it would blow directly into my face and hurt like hell.

Still I'm home now and getting home in one piece is what it's all about.

Ouch !
