True grit - flying in my face on the 5x50

Today looked promising: calmish sea and sunshine,  but by the time I got the bike out, the wind was rising. The sand on the Prom was whipping into my face - but carried on and made it to the halfway mark. Reckon that was true grit, both inside and out! The return journey was like stepping into another day: all warm and sunny with a fine tail wind. Back in no time! Another 5k clocked up before breakfast.

Practical Action - my inspiration for this 5x50 2013 challenge.
