Go Steve!

Go Steve - Don't stress about things, in fact don't even think about them. Just keep riding.
The weather will change.

The wind isn't a problem so far today over here. But it is raining.

Twitter is implying that Steve had some technical issues this morning - any ideas / update?

Not a good day, from the Strava upload, only 93 miles:  :(

..but alas, caffeinated, ready for the off, on switching on GPSs, no heart rate reading! Wake up phone call to crew chief Hoppo to sort out solution and check with UMCA officialdom if I was OK to ride while I changed batteries. Cont'd in "description."

I had to source batteries from some electrical goods from a petrol garage, which was time consuming. Eventually managed, but still no HR reading. This basically ruined the big ride. I was going to ride home into a light wind, then rest until I felt ready for another long stint. But the delays set me back, making my hoped for tailwind into a headwind that at times had me down to 8mph out of the saddle on the flat. That combined with my diet adaption, made for what was easily (ha ha) the toughest day of the year in spite of it being very short! Probably pushed a bit too hard into the wind too, to be honest. Home for food, bath and bed and not coming out till I'm ready, so nyer! This will hopefully mean a good day tomorrow....
