Managed my longest offroad ride of the year so far at 47 miles under fantastic blue skies with plenty of sunshine. Then spent all afternoon being unclefatboythehumanclimbingframe at a 3 year old’s birthday party and came home for a few beers. Top day all round.

Spare a thought for those of us in the frozen North. It makes for some interesting pictures, but I’m getting pretty bored of pushing the bike through heavy snow for ages just to find a bit of ridable trail. It was funny at the end of November, but the joke wears a bit thin when you realize that it’s nearly quarter of a year since you last saw some bits of the trail.

Off out for a gentle road ride by Mike Smith 79, on Flickr

Had some of the most pleasant riding in months yesterday. A tarmac run to the seafront and back on the roadie. After 6weeks of no riding due to work and illness 15miles of suburban/urban pedalling in glorious sunshine was just the ticket on a day when I had only an hour to play out.

due to be all week here in the west

yes! And i wish i can go back riding now rather than staying indoor with that “killing me” blue sky.
