It had been another solid week on the bike including a solid midweek hitout; riding a 1 in 20 threepeat Wednesday night negative splitting each lap.
The legs were tired, but with the forecast listing rain from mid morning Saturday all the way through Sunday I decided to ride my Mt Donna Buang repeats first thing Saturday. Hopefully getting some laps in before it got miserable... With the impending rain came milder temps on the hill for this time of year. Still cold, but a low of 7 degrees Celcius three or four degrees above the usual. Didn't stop the at times strong wind adding to the chill!

Still not quite there with my fitness, again basically even splitting the first two repeats but struggling to keep the wattage into Zone 4 on the third lap.
Quiet roads
Even though managed to summit just with a few spots of light rain for company near the top. After descending and the rolling around the riverside loop for a warm down, it was straight to the local supermarket to raid the shelves before the drive home in the now falling rain...
