Mate and I have both struggled to fit rides in over the last month but a sneaky - and slow - couple of hours on the road bikes this afternoon reminded us what we have been missing.

I was supposed to go to Llandegla,but I've been looking for a 'Adventure bike' & after some haggling I got this for a good price

So I picked it up this afternoon & got out for a early evening test ride even though the battery for my main light was dead...

well jel of your ride Lowey. The ride I had planned for friday night was a bit of path, a bit of woods and tracks and a bit of road, all in I was hoping for about 25 miles+ where my normal rides are around 20 miles. Unfotunately my new to me rear hub starting taking my pedals for a spin about 8 miles in. I had to pedal constantly all the way home otherwise the freehub would carry the chain round. I was surprised but how much I missed the freewheel, even just for a few seconds bumping up a curb.

Just a local road ride on the CX bike this afternoon. Took in one climb I've not done for ages and it was harder than I remembered (but I've put about 10kg on so I know the issue).

Quite enjoyed it though.

MBUK camera making it look like a flat turn that's being made to look like a downhill? 😉

Swinley again - I haven't been since friday 😆

Did a few off piste trails that I'd not found before, and a nice muck about on the bermy-downhill-bits-through-the-woods-by-the-big-post bit. I think I found Berminator, which was crackers.

Good job I'm not paying the photographer. I don't need a gradient to fall off. Anyone at the GFBD Frensham knows all it takes is some fly tipped rubbish to send me OTB 😆

Just a local ride today playing on some nice runs in a local wood. Grip was pretty much non-existent, it was rather like rOcKeTdOg's clip 🙂

You're not on your own...
I missed a week in the Alps after the biggest crash I've had in years.
On a pan flat trail. 🙄

Just a steady trundle round the lake (coniston) for me on Sat morning, Mrs was away visiting friends so I had to survive a full weekend of the monsters alone. Including a 'condition brown' at the swimming baths.
