Another bike ride after yesterday’s trip, along unfamiliar routes

After yesterday's trip, I had a great opportunity to rest and go for another bike ride along some unfamiliar routes between the fields. Honestly, I had never tried riding along those routes before, so today I decided to explore some of them, hoping to find interesting places and see where they would take me. And instead of following my usual route, this felt much more interesting to explore. After all, the routes I had been using for the last few months were already starting to annoy me, while some of the roads I had tried over the last few weeks were always crowded with trucks and cars. So during this trip, I rode as far as 10 kilometers from my home in one direction, which I had never done before.

The only thing that betrayed me during the ride was the weather. From the moment I started pedaling away from home until I finally finished my ride, the conditions were not really on my side. The wind, especially, made the ride pretty uncomfortable, even though the weather itself was already chilly. Sometimes it became quite strong, especially on the open roads where there were no trees around. Because of that, I had to keep both hands firmly on my bike's handlebars during the whole ride. Taking even one hand off felt risky, as if I could easily be blown off the road.

The low temperature, around 17 degrees, and the cloudy sky also played a big role. When the strong wind combined with the cold air while I was riding downhill, the ride suddenly became unbelievably freezing. The cold wind seemed to find every possible gap in my shorts and T-shirt and pierce right through them. However, whenever the sun appeared from behind the clouds, the weather became pretty comfortable—not too hot and not too cold. Now I just need to be careful about my health and make sure I don't catch a cold.
