Mine was a 35mile road ride tonight from here round by Selkirk and the Gordon Arms. Even though it was meant to be a light recovery ride we ended up doing it faster than ever.

Cwmcarn on Sunday morning. Final descent ruined by a couple picking their way down on Halfrauds specials. Grrr.

I'm sure they had a lovely day, though...

A 53 mile road ride a week gone Thursday ago, well mainly roads anyway. Took the bike on holiday to Strontian last week & it pished down most of every day. No fun riding round the Highlands on your own in the wet. Like so wet you can't see the other side of Loch Shiel. So I simply fished on Loch Sunart instead, & caught loads of mackarel! Still got wet though.

Friday before last, did 2000m of climbing (and then a brilliant 3 hour descent) and then a pairs urban night race, where we came third 😀

In the Alps, as well.

Haven't been doing much riding since then due to broken forks on the mtb, and road rides that keep getting cancelled. Been to the pump track a few times, and done some commuting, but that doesn't really count.

Commuted back to car via some hills on CXommuter tonight (as doing Bealach na Ba sportive in 12 days' time - probably too late to do much good though). Before that, straight into work this morning.

Before that, over the Bealach Ratagan twice on Friday. Man, that is a steep hill!

Lunch hour from work, as usual. I'm so lucky to have miles of great woodland singletrack surrounding me at work in the depths of Berkshire. Just hop on the bike and i'm off exploring 🙂 Can't tell you where it is though 😉 it's one of the areas best kept secrets & wouldn't do to have more people on the cheeky trails. :p i'm open to bribery though!

Commute home in some nice sunshine.

Broke my right hand ergo power lever. Took it to bits tonight and found one of the ratchets has stripped some teeth. Managed to find a nice vid on Youtube on how to overhaul it.

Phone call to the Campy spare parts guys tomorrow.

muffin-man - if riding company would help I'm always out and about round our local, be a shame to miss the last of the sun before a long winter!!
