Tonight was a huge milestone for me but really a pretty straight forward night time off road ride after some broken bones. Six weeks healing and things still niggling a bit but overall - Im nearly there. Yeeeee Haw!
Need some new goals now to get back on track. Im surprised how the legs havent really lost it!

Very excited as Mrs Ononeorange rode a demo Santa Cruz Juliana and loved it (we went to Swinley for the first time which was great). She was so happy and was riding so well on it that we've ordered one and now can't wait!

I was set for the 22 mile e/w commute but wimped out whilst stood in the kitchen in my kit at 06.20am.
Ha ha , i done exactly the same this morning at 4:50am. Stood naked in the bathroom staring at the wall for 5 minutes trying to convince myself that cycling was a good idea. Anyway 37 miles later, i arrived warm and hungry at work via bike. Left work about 4pm, got another crappy headwind and torrential rain before getting the other 37 miles in.

Watched the womens road race at 4.30, then spent the rest of the day building a bomb proof bike shed (13" thick concrete block walls!) for a fellow stwer.

Attempted the impossible climb - failed, but it seems theoretically possible at least. Nice chat with the fairmer who was complaining about people nicking car batteries from his electric fences! Around Stockhill and the minery, then a muddy, pointless explore before returning home. Oh and I picked up some balls to re-build my Deore hub.

Hard Work.

Had to resort to the turbo yesterday, boo hiss! An hour of intervals.
Then 3 hours on the MTB today, lots of standing water, a bit gay really!

Trailbuilding at glentress (pretty much all barrowing, not much fun but neccesary, new black section coming along nicely) then a short-ish and slightly frustrating knackered ride after, up the hill, down the blue, then broon troot and finishing on the red. Some riding good, some riding poor... But did tell me that the mmmbop should be a keeper now it's the right size.

Oh soooooo much better than yesterday (which was so much better than the day before; long may it continue.)
Left the house at 6.30am and headed into the hills. A fair bit of road, but the offroad was fun, cracking sunrise and great clouds hanging over the tops. Back for brekkie.

That looks fun Jedi.
Where is the impossible climb buzz?
Everyone should have their own near the house. Mine is the loose, slippy and stony Biddle Combe BW from West Horrington up to Pen Hill, the section from the buddle hut by the stream to the gate at the bottom of the field. It's not steep, just awkward.
I've done it reliably in drier conditions on my FS and geared HT. But now the HT is SS, it has become impossible again. Yippee!

Quick burn in the Yorkshire sunshine. Did a bit of exploring (found nettles) and went straight over the bars on an easy section when I hit a rock whilst standing and leaning forward to scope my line down a steep section. Smack!

nothing today, feeling rather sore after a crash, plus rather tired fter only sleeping for 10 hours since friday night...

Took my rigid SingleSpeed for a blast around Y Wal at Afan, great couple of hours, empty trails, slightly muddy for some back wheel out action, and a pint of Reverand James at Afan Lodge when I'd finished, proper big smiles at the end. Good day all round!!

Sunset ride up the judgement climb from Chinley (read the inscriptions above the windows on Beet Farm) up to the Pennine Bridleway. Followed it through to Hayfield. Sett Valley Trail with a bit of up and over to Furness Vale. Spin back along the canal and tramway aside from the puncture 2km form home. Must carry more stuff. Worth sitting yesterdays wet one out for today.
