The sun was shining, and I rode my bike today.

I went down the Fishchtowers bridleway, fell off in the gloopy mud but no damage to rider or bike. Fabulous.

That is all I have to say right now. 😀

Oh, I should probably move back to shorts now – it was a bit chilly when I left but it soon warmed up.

*looks out of office window*

*grumble*

The sun is shining and I went running – 4 miles along the northumberland coastline – clear skies, blue sea, gentle cool breeze. Cant beat this working from home malarky.

I think this was meant to be a positive little thread about how just little things can make you happy as opposed to worrying about tyres/bling/single speed/trail centres etc etc etc.

You know, bike + sun = happy 😀

Spring is most definitely in the air and the weekend will be here soon enough.

Aye its glorious today.

I ran yesterday lunchtime through the woods and now I'm contemplating avoiding all e-mails for the rest of the afternoon, forgetting end of year self management and appraisal b0ll0x and going for a spin in the Peaks.

You're right carbon337, working from home does have its advantages 🙂

an hour at lunch. not much but enough!

Just been out on Corstorphine Hill – perfect day for it and was shown the gnarlsome sections. Then sat in the garden with tea and biscuits actually warmed by the sun.

Happy am I.

You bastard! I was going to see if you were interested in a Sunday morning jaunt up there if the weather stayed good. But now I'm in a huff with you 🙁

Me too. Frantic two cleaning the house in preparation for a viewing then two hours tootling round Wiltshire lanes. Back for lunch then as it was still nice went out for another hour. Bliss

I managed 40 mins over lunch on the training area in Bordon. Sun and singletrack… what more could I ask for?

Jesus, Kit! You've soon taken over HH's mantel of most jealous and posessive STWer I've ridden with 😉

Lets ride soon, though, huh? Huh big boy? C'mon, I know there's a smile in there somewhere…. Huh…? There we go…

Couple of hours for me, still very muddy – agree about the warmth, I was too hot.

There we go…

*giggles* Oh ok then. Call me

The sun was shining and i to went out on the bike today. A cosy road ride taking in motherwell, carluke, carnwath, currie(A70 route), Central Edinburgh, livingstone, West Calder and back home to Newmains area, total of 70ish miles. Frijj chocolate brownie milkshake, pasta's cooking, showers on then back out at half 5 for 3 more hours of night riding. 😆

Oh yeah, shorts on, a base layer and cycling top , no neck warmer or knee warmers, perfect(ish) day. Looking forward to summer

The sun was out yesterday as well, as I did a nice 100k on the road bike. Saw three accidents though where folk had skidded their cars on ice…One had ambulance and police in attendance. 🙁

Greig – you uberfit b'stard.

well thankyou 😉

Today, I claimed some sunshine time from my employer, and walked to meet friends with my face turned up to the sun, singing along to Johnny Cash.

Felt good. But, then, this week has been full of good news so far… 😀

Aw Kit – hope to have a ride or two with you when I am back up in Dumfries August and September 🙂

Ourmaninthenorth – it's always great to have a week of good news huh 😀

simon – for sure. Looking forward to signing it off with a flourish and swish of the proverbial cape.

Went out in the Pentlands for 5 hours, Maidens is singletrack at the mo'. Funny thing was, I was talking to a guy that was skiing and whilst admiring the amazing cloud free skies and complete lack of wind I commented on what a perfect day it was. He replied, "supposed to be better tomorrow." Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Same here, but in shorts and with just a longsleeve jersey here. Plus I got to do it with the smell of Fresh mimosa in the air.

A few hours on Cannock Chase for me. Lovely sun, still some ice on the occasional puddle, quite a few deer, masses of mud, not a dogger in sight 😥

Top day out on Corstorphine Hill
