Love sunny and warm spring days.

Moved about 4 tonnes of concrete lintels and 9 big sheets of asbestos roofing + demolished a shed & associated crap, all taken to the tip.
Van back early in the morning so might try and fit a ride in if my body doesn't protest too much.
Its deffo protesting at the moment!
Alas my bike is not complete, so all I managed was to scoot (no chain) it around the garden to get the stans fluid spread out in the new tyres
A decent 20 miler Mtb ride round the Peak today and I'm going to take the a Roadie out tomorrow, in the promised sunshine round some of Cheshire's lanes
Hetton hijinks tomorrow,a new one for me,question is shorts or trousers that's the biggy?
It might be spring, but i've definitely still got "winter" legs, so a quick easy, 15miler around some local non-gnar routes:

Nice to be out on the old hardtail again 😉
Plan was a nice local 20 odd miles, some good riding bits, some good views, lots of feeling ace about being out and about in the sun and fresh air.
The reality is now stuck at home with sinusitis and feeling pretty rubbish.
Sometimes life isn't fair!
Working. 12 hour day shifts Saturday and Sunday, nights Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Sun's out, innit. Bum.
Inguinal hernia repair on Friday, so currently jealous! Feeling like i've been stabbed.
It's lovely here, just off to ride and the van decided to die 🙁
Further to my self pitying post above, just got back from a lovely 2-3mile walk with my daughter. Salvaged something out of the day and spent some quality time into the bargain. Every cloud......
Dropping my bike off at lbs later so will be ready to ride next weekend. So it will 100% be terrible weather next weekend so make the most of it today.
30 k out on the South Downs and Friston. One trail was DUSTY!!!!!!
Last 10 minutes in the woods was a bog, otherwise the bike nearly came home clean!!
its a bit damp in places but what a lovely day to get out[URL= http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy195/stumpym4/Sutton%20park%209-3-14/DSC01392_zps25c357e8.jp g" target="_blank">

No riding, but stalking Rocketdog at the Vic pub - amazing how you recognise a stw rider by their bike and top! Would have said hello, but didn't want to interrupt his conversation and I was too busy collecting sticks with my 2 yr old 😆
So I opted for the long trousers for the hetton hijinks ride,was a nice ride but gates much,I was hoping to come home clean but it wasn't to be,nice day though 🙂
I rode the blue at Llandegla which had a diversion missed some signs did some red and the the blue again, second ride of the year, lungs felt it and not sure i am gelling with my SC Nickel either. Nice to be out though on such a lovely day.
Took my boy out on his first full length Mendip trail ride, with assistance from a couple of mates from here.
He did really well, only one spill, all be it a big one for a first, he came back smiling and wanting more, even after 3,1/2 hours of riding.
Wentwood Goshawk challenge on my fatty.....shattered now thanks to a winter of beer and cake .....roll on Battle on the beach next weekend
Road riding all weekend. Mtbing is for folks who don't know no better! 😆
Hour and a half round Hombury st Mary yesterday trying out a new shock on my prophet and 55 miles on the road bike today. Yesterday was lovely, dry trails and surprisingly quiet.

Had a fifteen mile pootle on the local roads (east Cumbria), the sun was out and I saw 6 cars in total it was bliss
Yesterday consisted of no riding outside, and today's ride ended 15km in when my rear mech decided to have some special time with my rear wheel. 6 spokes later, they parted company, and I had a nice walk/scoot home...
Going to have to make up for it next week.
