Hill of tears

During the last few weeks I have cycled a great deal; I have nearly reached my target set back on January 1st (see first blog of the year). Today as I puffed up the hills after Rhosesmor my legs were complaining more than usual. With so many cycle miles and a pretty severe diet I think I might have over done it. It was appropriate that my legs turned to jelly as I approached Moel y Crio (hill of tears in English). I managed to get home without incident, but tomorrow will be a cycle free day. I took this photograph and then manipulated it with photoshop to give an idea of what my eyes were seeing at that moment!
