What a BEAUTIFUL day for a bike ride
I hope you all have a good day STW
i'm off out riding for the day too 🙂
high5!
I'm going to get out at 2ish on the ss cyclocross for a bit of coastal path riding. I love living by the sea!
I just mentioned this to my boss, while at work til seven 🙁
working also. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
🙁
Watching the Cricket here
Meeting up at 9.30, local ride, great way to start the day.
great day? its dull and started to rain just like every other sunday..
/\ Ditto 😐
Sadly I'm stuck in vancouver with work for a few days, no bikes in evidence.
Might just have to go skiing instead...
Grouse mountain here we come.
"What a beautiful day for going out for a family walk" is what I get. I hope for rain at weekends...*
*Im joking of course - I cant ride at weekends whatever the weather
Don't know about a lovely day, it's honking it down in Lancashire
And all the best to you too kind sir!
Wet as **** here in NW swissland, but just back from a very muddy 1.5hr thrash round local woods with a good riding buddy. Fun on the downs, great chat on the way up. nd both of us with arses and camelbacks hat look like we've fallen into a cow pat. Lovely! 😆
Kev
Was going to for a road ride around rivington this morning until i opened the curtains. I am going to change the taps in the kitchen instead..
Dark skies and rain again in South Cheshire. Have a good ride everyone that's venturing forth I 😛
Lovely start to the day in the Surrey Alps and my brand new bike is going to get its first taste of mud today, woo and indeed hoo!!
Road bike shall get a minimum of 2 outings today 🙂
No sun here but it's not pouring with rain like yesterday which makes it a great day in my book.
Off to Cwm Carn shortly.
snowing here
Just had my collarbone plate removed so it's reading this site and watching lifecycles for me.
Oh, and being a tad grumpy.
It's chucking it down here. 🙁
Sun is shining in MK so me and my daughter off for a ride round Woburn in the mud for a couple of hours and then bike cleaning and fettling this afternoon till dinner is dished up
Glorious sunshine here in the Pentlands, even nicer than yesterday. Off out for the second quick blast of the weekend. May even leave the backpack at home...
Raining here as well, Upper slopes of NW Alps 🙁 it should be sunny.
Off to Vancouver next week , I suppose its preparing me for the weather there?
Alps then Vancouver? Lucky sod 🙂
mtb yesterday so was going to do a road ride today. CBA in the wet as I'd rather sit around eating crisps.
Weather's alright here. Was better earlier but i'm waiting for my hangover to subside a bit before leaving the duvet
Ouit for a couple of hours at 7am this morning on edge of Dalby. Chilly but beautiful.
opens curtains, peers out into the gloom, at the rain threatening to turn into sleet, wonders where the hell PhilConsequence lives, retreats back to the toaster.
2 hour ride from front door - very muddy but the sun made an appearance. Lovely.
I thought that so got the road bike out for the first time this year. Half an hour into the ride and it stated to pour it down. Even got a puncture to top it all off. Lovely 👿
Another stunning day here. Was out on the bike by 8.30 😯 Home in time to sit outside a cafe with a much needed coffee. Hurty legs and glutes after nearly 300km this week.
Fantastic day. Meeting mates at 2:00 for 2.5 hour local ride followed by beers. All good.
Out yeserday noticed the back brake was a bit inconsistent. Gave it a squeeze prior to setting off today and lever went almost to the bar. Fluid dripping from rear caliper. Grrrrrrr. The brakes are Tech X2's, only six months old. Not a happy bunny. 2 hour round trip to LBS awaits
We've just had a hail storm here... grrr!
Nice morning here, so I decided not to waste a beautiful day watching West Ham getting beat by the bin dippers.
Got soaked to the skin and got home to find we'd won 3-1.
Still happy though.
FCOL PHIL - HAVE YOU ANY IDEA OF THE SUFFER-FEST I'VE HAD TO ENDURE TODAY?
Sunshine where??? No sunshine by the time I started riding and I live not a million miles from your hood! It was bad hair day all day. 🙁
2.5 hours of constant rain making me so cold that I had to cut-short my ride.
Humphhhhhh. 👿
NW Alps here too, did my riding yesterday, muddy 6 mile walk with pub stop today, rain kept off all good 🙂
Was lovely here... Hills were crawling with people too. You can tell when it's an unexpectedly nice day when all the walkers seem cheerful
Spent 3hrs mud-plugging round Longleat forest in the pouring rain. All rigidsinglespeedytwentyniney, I was.
Didn't see the sun at all, but found some newly-built singletrack and the first Daffs of the year.
Good ride 😀
We didn't get out yesterday because the forecast to day was better. Except when we got up this morning it wasn't. We got sorted anyway any as we took the bikes out it started to rain. Figured that we were ready now so we might as well go - it was utterly grim. Temperature didn't go above 3°c and it rained for about half of the 90 minutes we were out.
Still glad we went though.
trip to grizedale, first time on a mtb since about oct, perhaps being on a singlespeed with 2 very fit full suss riders was a bad idea, but I kept going. Beautiful day to be in the lakes!
It was a lovely day today, saying that it was a nice day yesterday, I'm too tired from riding yesterday to go out today. So I've been gazing out the window longingly all day.
Still my new forks should be here in a few days and tue/wed is my next ride day, good to know there are riders getting out and about, any photo's ❓
Enjoyed the sun, with some cracking cumbrian singletrack.
I'm so glad spring is here, I just can't wait until the days get longer!!
Blimey, you lucky sunny so-and-so's! The Cheshire Riviera was a tad damp today to say the least - and a howling northerly too. 40 wet and cold miles on the road, but the cake stop was well worth it. Feet have just about thawed / dried out now.
Still at least I got a good, wet ride in on the 456 yesterday morning in the Alpine regions of our great county, in the pouring rain and mud (anyone see a pattern emerging here?)
Shouldn't knock it - it's good for ducks, gardens and reservoirs. Any bets on when the hosepipe ban will kick back in? 🙂
