Two lovely settled days on the trot, first time this winter in these parts, and the weather looks to continue through the weekend.
Had a cracking starry night ride up on the moor last night, fair lifted the spirits.
Happy riding folks.
May I also add, this was 5:30 last night in central Scotland... 8) Light evenings are on the horizon...

Enough of your prowess.... 😯
Lovely isn't it - no forcast for the next 5 days according to my Met office app. Colder than late though, 5c with windchill making it feel like 1c.
Wrong thread!

The mud ain't going anywhere for a while round these parts.
....and I have a dose of man-flu! I hate the nice weather
Heavy rain forecast here tomorrow. 🙁

rode home last night on the cycle path with my lights off most of the way and only put them on around 6:15 and can ride most of the way with them off in the morning too. I love February
edit: obviously I still need them on when I'm on the road.
I love February
If only for those Nacreous clouds last week and some of the best sunrises and sunsets at commute times.
Calling BS on
though.braw ride up Mugdock last night
Everyone knows that place only dries up in August (for 4 days) 😛 😉

And that is on a good year, after a dry spring....
Finally, some decent weather...
About bloody time, even if it's only for a few days it'll help to restore my sanity.
Had yesterday off from work and made the most of it out playing on the bike in my local woods/trails but had to work t'day (Boo! 👿 ) as bright sunshine streamed in the factory, they wanted me to work t'morn but no way!, i don't do fridays so it's bike fun day for me in the Galloway hills 😀
Another corking morning!.
