Bright and Breezy

The forecast was for snow in the afternoon so it was common sense to get the run done early. It was cold with bright sunshine when we set off. The temperature was around freezing and the pavements that were in shadow had ice on them. A mile down the road we hit the first hill. It went on for about a mile, at the top we turned into a farm road which was metaled but slippery . From the road which runs along the top of a ridge you can see for about ten miles. The view over the countryside is great but the wind which was blowing from the north west cut right through us. Soon we were on the fields which, although still wet were a pleasure to have under our feet. Crossing the main road we climbed the bridle way for a mile before finishing the last bit on the road. Five and a half miles making twelve for the week so far. Target again is twenty.
