A nice 40 mile route on the Hants/ Berks/ Wilts borders which included Combe Gibet and then over to Collingbourne Woods. No pub stops but a trip to A&E after to get a lacerated leg patched up after an over the handlebars off through a barbed wire fence. 😳

Cant wait til tuesday eve now, riding straight from work (shoreham airport) up toTruleigh hill via the river trail and home via the SDW and some ST thrown in too then back to cissbury then home.Yippee

Saturday: An out an back from Pangbourne (didn't have a map so just took thr bridleways heading as straight as possible north, then back south)

Sunday: Swinley, including the ride there and back after last weekends debacle with the trains. Anoyingly this left me with only about 40minutes of riding before I was knackered and had to get home on the calories form a Mars abr.

I started in Cynwyd, went over the Wayfarer into Llanarmon dyffryn ceiriog, back up to ceiriog forest, Had lunch by the river in Llangollen then over the Horseshoe pass and into Llandegla before riding home to Wrexham.

RIDE? on a Saturday??? thats crazy talk

ok it is for me 🙁

Didnt ride sat but had a blinder of a ride on sunday, rode all the local cheeky singletrack (brighton) for a good four hours, just looping bits of trail together, dry and dusty, lots of predictable slides, trying to keep up with faster mates and succeeding, the best days riding this year, was about the 10th ride on my new Soul and prior to sunday was feeling a little disappointed with it, but sunday it all just came together and the bike rocked, still got a massive big cheesy grin on my face.

Sunday for me . . .

Dudley to Dudley via Sedgley/Baggeridge/Wombourne/Lower Penn/Seisdon/Swindon golf club/Kford.

Just trying to get myself fit before I ride regular again with the real men.

2.5 hrs, . . . It killed!

Sounds like the weather was better in the UK, I got rained on. No dust here!

Auditing the council's new cycle routes on my roadie with the local cycle campaign.

Did you know cyclists can see signs that are only 4 inches square, on an overgrown lamp post, on the wrong side of the road, covered in grafitti?

Never mind, maybe a proper ride next week…
