No riding for me today, too hung over 
Did spend a few hours fettling though, trying to get my shock set up better for me.

Cracking day out - 24 mile loop in the southern Rhins of Galloway. Nice sea breeze on the outward leg so never felt too warm. The big hill in the distance is Cairnsmore of Fleet which Kirroughtree runs up alongside.

Did about 16km. Came off after about 3. Busted up the knee and elbow. Started to get very stiff near the end. But I'll be out again tomorrow evening blazing up the trails. Can't let this good weather do to waste!

Out with the chaps for a local loop then stop for a could of pints of SA gold.
Just the ticket.Posted 10 months ago # -
Mrs Ononeorange and I did the Marshbrook CRC too - and had a throughly good time. Weather couldn't have been better, she rode brilliantly and the course was perfection. And the best bit - she wants to go back! Result!

Did my standard loop around Chanctonbury ring - but finally tried the big jump I've been too scared to go over and nailed it, twice. And someone saw me do the second one, which shouldn't make any difference, but we all know it does.

Don't worry timnwild, a witness is incredibly important. I did a 2 minute trackstand the other day but because i have the balance of a new-born giraffe no one would have beleived me. But i had a witness, so all is good.

Out for a couple of hours on the singlespeed with my brother-in-law. Running 33:16 in the Chilterns is flipping hard work; I couldn't make it to the top of Ivinghoe Beacon, and my legs are, er, knackered as a result.

Cracking ride up at Cannock - did the Monkey and tried a little bit of off piste which cut out the long d/h pebbly fire road. Also had an epic fail on one of the rocky sections near the black option - ouch....
To the guys who did the Malvern's that is one of my local rides - maybe see you up there sometime ! - I do like the Malvern's but not as exciting as the trails at Cannock.

Everything came together perfectly this weekend.
1. Brilliant weather.
2. Wife and daughter away all weekend.
3. Feeling strong/brave (or more probably just foolhardy).Pleasant pootle from Clapham on Saturday.
30+ miler over Great Hill and Rivi on Sunday. All the best bits crammed into one ride. Just found myself flying through stuff on the 100mm H/T that I've balked at on the F/S on occasions. The fantastic condition of the trails made all the difference.Only two pinch flats too
(I really gotta tubeless that hardtail sometime soon).All-in-all a fantastic weekend's riding.

No... I have the kids at Weekends. Going to get out a few nights this week though.

As per Lowey - two boys join their sister here at the weekend and so three under tens mean no riding at the weekend. Mind, I just had a cracking ride this morning and, judging by my manager's diary, I should have another one on Tuesday and Thursday

We're on holiday in Portugal seeing some friends who had managed to borrow me a bike, so I tagged along with a group of locals yesterday. Only one spoke English so I had no idea where or how far we were going. A great ride in the Algarve region, 60km when we got back. Dry, dusty tracks and singletrack down by a river, most of the route off-road.

Commuted to work today. Crawley to Biggin Hill, 25.78 miles each way with a climb of the North Downs at the end of the outward leg.
Total of 3hrs 58mins of riding - saw a fox, several deer and loads of rabbits in the morning, then 83 million gnats on the way home.
Really chuffed with myself, not too stiff (but expect that to change in the morning) and am thinking of maybe doing it once a month.
Happy days!

Sundays nine hour shift was made that little bit more bearable 'cause the bike was in the boot. Headed up the hill and made another bloody vid.
