Having failed to contribute my efforts to 30 days of biking due to other commitments it seemed apt for me to accept my punishment in the form of a ride to the wonderful Polocini coffee shop in Romily (and back). Over 2700 metres of climbing and about 140 kilometres of chilly riding later I can truly say I have been punished. And I liked it.
Thanks to @waterrat77 for the wheel and the sense of direction.
