[hand up]
I got mud spattered as the recent heavy rains had filled trail holes and some corners with slippery goop. But everywhere else it was still really grippy and fast. Cracking little ride with plenty of sunshine, and brief pub stop too.

Yeah! 76 miles of roadie Gr. Notts. Bike Ride with a couple of riding buddies. Big respect to the guy on the slick tyred Specialized Stumpy HT who hung on to the back of our little pace line at 20+ mph for the final 25 miles into a headwind!

Ride out this morning at 5am, to have a nosey at the riders in the 24hr race here in the isle of man.
They were phuqed, but still in good spirits.
Personally we did 50km in 2:45, off road, muddy, a bit cold in the extremities, but smiling and happy we went out.

Did a chunk of the South Downs and ended up doing the leg home with hundreds of people doing the London-to-Brighton. Weird but great way to end a ride.

Nope, I never get out. I just lurk on the forums like an addicted deviant.

I extended my commute slightly and took in the delight that is Spillers flour mill being demolished on the Tyne.
Then, on the homeward bound leg of the same journey i went the longererer way.

70KM of wet, heavy going gravel roads, beautiful riding on the cross bike

Three of us had a lovely pootle today, taking in the Hogs Back, St Marthas, Pitch, Holmbury & Leith hills then up to the North Downs and home again. Quite a bit of mud on the trails and a little slippy in places. Bike washed and now I'm eyeing a pint of London Pride that needs opening.

First road club run in ages. Did 70 miles, watched some pro racing (tour of the reservoir) had cake and coffee then road home. Amazingly missing all the really heavy showers.
Feel like I've been for a ride but not actually come back exhausted which is nice.

Riding? Lost my mojo and too much packing to do.

Me me me me! Muddy puddly ride around Swinley, stacking on Stickler when my front wheel tucked under on one of the berms. Cake and tea mid way through. Pleasant company. Can't beat it.

28 miles of Surrey Hills goodness. A little slippy but not too bad

Aye, a few hours up cannock, the off piste fairys never cease to amaze me! Loved getting muddy when there was the respite of fast dusty sections... very happy indeed.

Me, a couple of laps of my local loop, nice. Shins are humming with nettle stings though, bit of rain and everything's overgrown like a jungle.
