Scudding clouds, resting bike

My first even remotely long (for me) ride in preparation for May. Up Coombe Hill twice, this was a long exposure while I recovered from the ignominy of my road tyres not having enough grip through some mud between some trees, the bike pirouetting 180 degrees and dumping me in the mud.

It was only seventeen point something miles, but the strong westerly wind (about 25mph) made it quite a workout...
