Big bike bash.

Areches Beaufort with Trail Addiction. Really quite good indeed. 44 degrees in the sun, a mere 38 in the shade.

Nowhere special really. Friday was digging at a new jump spot, the most riding I did was ride across the fields to get there. Did 25 mile road ride on Saturday, few miles today. I can't ride properly at the minute as I've hurt my shoulder.

Had a cracking road ride early on today around the Test Valley. That climb out of Wherwell doesn't get any easier!

Oh, and it was stinking hot today! Luckily, a pool was on standby on my return! 🙂

did 23 miles round the road track at Cyclopark in Gravesend.. was getting on for 30 degree ambient, when the sun was out it was like riding in an oven...

100km around the Peak District. The last 10km with a tropical downpour - arrived home wetter than a haddock's bathing costume. At least it was warm rain.

I went out this afternoon on the mountain bike and did 37 miles 😀

Rode out from the house, up onto dartmoor, around Burrator reservoir and back again via some singletrack.

I've done the loop before, and the guy I rode it with told me it was 37/38 miles. I didn't believe him but I mapped it out when I got home and true enough! Pretty chuffed with that for an afternoon spin.

40 miler road ride from SE London via North Downs, Biggin Hill and Sanderstead.
Bloody hot but a beautiful day to be out

Bloody hot but a beautiful day to be out

Is there a better place to be than to be on a bike, in the British countryside on a day like today? No. There isn't. There really isn't.

Just couldn't get off of the sofa this weekend.

Down to the end of the cul-de-sac and back to confirm my SPD cleats were correctly alligned. They were.

Local loop - 48km of mixed road/dirt (about 2/3 road, but the RQ makes that a nice workout). Too hot by half, even in the morning 'cool'.

Quantocks yesterday. A mere 15 odd miles which is piddly by the above standards, but I enjoyed it, which is what counts 🙂

Then a 40 mile road/cycle path ride today.

Rode off road over to the N Downs, rode around the trails then rode home via Ash and Tunnel Hill. Fantastic day, great company, 7hrs 85miles. More like this please! Today has been spent sitting in the sun reading Wiggins' autobiography and feeling humbled.

nowt so far this weekend..
I spent this afternoon clambering repeatedly over a large inflatable assault course.. much to the amusement of all the assembled water pistol toting kids..

tomorrow will be my riding day.. I haven't a plan yet although it will involve lots of riding over Dartmoor.. I may very well head off my usual trails in one direction or another and try for an exploratory epic..

Had a nice ride with some mates and the other half at Bedgeburry Forrest.

Not technically the weekend, but Ax le Therme in the pyrenees on friday. DH trails, first time in the proper mountains and I want more!!

I'm not surprised after typing all that out!

Not quite Whistler, but Saturday afternoon was spent on the DH trails near Bangor, Wales; Sunday was my first MBNW Wales forum-ride in the hills above Conwy and Penmaenmawr. Top fun had.

Sherwood pines . . . . 🙁

I got up early on Saturday morning to set off for the Trailbreak ride at Woodcote (Chilterns), went to say good-bye to Mrs O who on the spur of the moment decided to come with me. We decided to ride the the 65k route (I think me saying "It's what Jessica would do" at the sign-on tipped it!) and I was the happiest rider of the day to have her along with me.

The evening speed work we've been doing really paid off - we were so much quicker and had a great ride. The bit along by the Thames was fantastic. Really hot and suffering from the heat towards the end but she stormed on and we finished happy and knackered. Brilliant day.
