Just got back. Despite having hardly ridden over the winter i set a PB on a little road loop. Sunny, blue skies, warm, great tail wind on the way back.

Not been for about 2 weeks since I sold my bike, absolutely gorgeous here today and I get my new bike tomorrow ๐Ÿ™ I'm on edge, I know the weather will be rubbish tomorrow and for a while after, bit of a shame but oh well. Summer soon we should have at least 3 nice days then.

No. ๐Ÿ™

This year I have ridden all through the winter to make those sunny days even better and what happens....

The first bloody sunny days we get and I get a stinking cold! Gutted.

50 mile hilly road ride. Sunny, warm(relatively) but blustery. A few dodgy moments with high speeds and crosswinds. None the less a great day.

Bit of a mixed bag it seems. I had a huge smile on my face on the way back - Chasing Rainbows came on my iPod and I still had legs to push. I ******* love cycling.

The first side went with a crack, I thought it was two rock colliding. We rode another ten miles of so with a couple of fast descents. The second crack was indeed a bang, just after a flight of stairs.

Yep, it's a Turner.

yep, awesome

lots of cheeky, considerate horse riders, twerpt with a dog, some rather pleasant new cough paths, llama, turkey, guinea fowls, hordes of ramblers, blazing sun, still lots of puddles, a large number of 'landowners or appointed factors thereof' wishing me a good morning, blossoming plant life everywhere, so pleasnt that we stooped at the pub on the way back, a beer with my shirt sleeves rolled up and the sun blazing down - yahooooooooooooo

Really? Blowing a gale, overcast, dull and about 6 degrees (but dry) in central Scotland, although it has to be said a definite improvement! I would have been out if i wasn't working @ 5am this morning! ๐Ÿ™

Popped out for a quick blast on my DB Alpine on the North Downs. First time I'd ridden it this year, as I have been riding my Soul during winter which has mud tyres on it. I had forgotten what a lot of fun the Alpine is. Totally overkill for todays ride but well worth it for the fun I had and the smile I had on my face when I came back.

Haldon today for a blast round some wooded singletrack. Best weekend in ages!

Pitmedden was excellent. Most of the trees have been cleared. Trails dry almost dusty. Then went on to Tentsmuir to meet up with the family for a barbecue. Even got to ride a horse for a bit!
