And as usual far too nice a day to take the shortest route to work so up out of Sheffield through Graves Park, Greenhill and Holmesfield to Owler Bar. Caught up with a bloke who was riding out to Baslow and Chatsworth and it was very tempting to keep going with him but the day ahead was just too busy and so from Owler Bar bombed back down through Totley and on to Abbeydale Road into the city centre. No more than about 15-16 miles in about 70 mins but a lovely start to the day. Intended to do the same route on the way home but the heat was just too much when I left at 5.00. How The Tour riders managed those 3 huge climbs today in that sort of heat is just beyond me.

Phew it's hot
