last minute ride

Having spent he afternoon waiting for a mate to turn up to fix his bike for him i shot out seconds after he left and just had time to get a bit of daylight riding in before the darkness arrived. the second half of the ride needed lights and the temperature dropped considerably. with a very small riding window I kept to the road and tried to keep the hammer down the whole ride to maximise the effort used.
