where you going, on road, offroad, bit of both?
me and the wife are going on our 1st mini tour of the year, with a aim to ride to a hostel once a month throughout the year.
heading for Helmsley in the NYM tomorrow.
and hopefully catch a few nice pubs on route over the weekend. 8)
i strongly recommend the Blacksmiths Arms in Lastingham.
Hiring fat bikes from Bothy Bikes in Aviemore and going to play in the snow 🙂
erm... it's snowing... off to slide down an Alp or 2 instead
(this isn't gonna help my endomondo stats)
Peak - somewhere, then lots of bike washing
Aberystwyth area tonight and tomorrow. Thinking Brechfa or the Marin trail on Sunday, will see how I feel. All offroad for me.
Enjoy it Ton! I need to schedule in an overnight somewhere...
At home with the kids tomorrow and probably a road ride with my mate on my cross bike for Sunday.
Tonight, home from work. Then that may well be it for the weekend. Last several months have been all commuting and no fun riding. Something I'd like to address but don't seem to have the time for at the moment. I don't really feel like a proper cyclist, my MTB has no bottom bracket and hasn't had for several months now.
Couple of local road rides again here. Cold weather gear at the ready!
I'll be out tonight round local trails then the wifey is taking me to Coniston for a birthday weekend away and I'm taking my bike for an offroad spin up a hill on sunday morning.
Heading over to Peaslake on Sunday morning to ride some of the trails over there.
relegated to couch jockey again, still not got rid of the sniffles
🙁
Probably not, got some digging to do weather permitting. 🙁
GOring area today, Goring/PAngbourne tomorrow...
Sunday, likely to be getting furniture instead.
Hoping to get out on cross bike tomorrow in and around South East Leeds - no plans of route yet, just head off and link up a few roads and trails and see where it takes me.
Local tomorrow. Please start snowing properly. Its forecast. I want to go and play in it. I bloody love riding in the snow!!!
Last year we did a loop that normally takes an hour, that took two and a half due to the snow. It was a right old laugh. The downhill from the top of Bull Hill trying to stay in the tyre tracks of the farmers Landy. As soon as you drifted outside them, you came to an abrupt halt and went flying over the bars, landing unharmed in deep snow. Great fun!!! 😀
I really want a fat bike!
Local this weekend, meeting strangers who only exist on the internet* for a ride on sunday
*it remains to be seen
visiting friends and have a sore knee so no bikes
ton - we need a trip report!
Does a visit to sufferlandria on the turbo count?
Don't think I'll get out on the actual mtb this weekend unfortunately so will have to be a sufferfest video on the turbo instead.
Long route to the Pub tonight as usual, weather a bit calmer since this was taken earlier in the week...

🙂
After throwing myself at speed onto Cumberland Clough's finest boulders last night, I'll not be riding anywhere this weekend :?. Right leg is a bit battered up and got some lovely bruises coming on already.
No riding for me this weekend as it's my weekend with my daughter. I have pedalled 185 miles on the road bike since Monday though so I think a couple of days off is acceptable.
come on Mister P - no slackin off! 😆
If you're out enjoy it, everyone! If your'e in not to much beer and chocolate...
Swinley tomorrow at 8. Purple (blue, red, blue) and some jump gulley action. Nice
Turbo in the garage - knackered shoulder/collar bone not fixed!
Just somewhere would be nice. I'm too soft to ride my road bike. As it keeps snowing. So may break out the mtb and ride to my mum's. Only 5 mile ride there and back though.
gisburn tomorrow, stainburn sunday
Roadie all weekend, hack up into the Sth Downs and bounce around until either I get bored or hungry..unlikely to be both at the same time 😆
If it snows then I'm slide all over the bloody place, no CX'er as I've been hacking that to death recently and I think it deserves a couple of days off..
WFH next week so expect more intervals between working and riding, shhhh though eh? Don't tell my Boss. 😛
Coming off my road bike for the first time ever and tearing some very expensive bibs this afternoon 🙄 (luckily I put the Rapha top down and wore a 35 quid Pearl Izumi so it could have been worse).
Woburn/Rushmer with the big bike for some (slightly bruised and sore) fun and pratting around, experimenting with my SJ4000 (courtesy of santa and a PSA thread here) tomorrow.
Local CX explore with some mates route-guiding on Sunday.
Marin tomorrow to try new full facer on the last downhill bit then the full trail. Attempting some winter climbing on Sunday but think it will be a nice walk with the axes staying clean. Marin tomorrow Chris?
luckily I put the Rapha top down and wore a 35 quid Pearl Izumi so it could have been worse
It could'nt. Rapha do free repairs 😉
Aiming to get a quickie in at Haldon en route to visit parentals / packing up our flat to move 😀
Doing 120km on the road bike tomorrow which I might stretch to over 100 miles depending how I feel. First serious length ride of the year.
Hopefully over to the Clent, up and down a lot, then over to the Lickey hills, up and down a lot depending on how many hours my kitchen pass is
CyB in the snow tomorrow. The wives are hijacking the planned boys ride though.
Marin - Member
Marin tomorrow to try new full facer on the last downhill bit
Will arrange for somebody to observe and post the "why do people feel the need for full face" whine
Looking for a brisk one around the Hayfield loop ,Jacobs and a loop of injury cover 😉
Gran Canaria (road) 😆
Just need to find my summer cycling kit first...
Lots of Cannock today God it was quiet
Curiously dry in places, kind of cold on the way back with wintry showers but I really really enjoyed it. Bike felt great and so did I. Same again tomorrow my refusal to acknowledge Winter seems to be working
It'll be a couple of laps around the (surprisingly good) blue/red/black trail at Clayton Vale on Sunday morning, trail hound in tow. Next weekend however will see me in Swaledale recceing Fremington Edge and other bits, ahead of the Ard As enduro in August. Should be interesting at this time of year..
Somewhere muddy most likely. Not sure which bike i'll take out. Conditions say single speed but due to a recent injury i should probably take the full sus.
Heading up Sunday to do Ladybower.
Local in the Peak as usual.
Very cold out so hopefully some of the mud will be frozen.
Meh...
Only making unavoidable journeys for the foreseeable future 🙁
Dodgy shoulder that started this time last year and cleared up by the autumn is back with a vengeance..
Can't find any comfortable position for it waking or sleeping, not much decent sleep in the last week and riding the bike is hellish.. even speed bumps are sickeningly painful and it feels like the shoulder is being pulled out over the tiniest irregularities in the road, even with gurt 2.35 balloon style slicks run on low pressure..
Off road riding would be impossible, which is really gutting cos I've been putting off a decent Dartmoor ride for the last few weeks waiting for some proper cold weather to get the best from the moor..
Of course the cold weather is now here which is doing wonders for my shoulder 🙁
Wine O'clock
No takers mikewsmith how disappointing. I would have said to protect my pretty face in the Alps. Anyway helmets too big and needs swapping.
