Blisteringly hot here in Dorset this weekend, but like all good Englishman we went out in the mid sun!

My mate Rich taking a break after the steep climb from Abbotsbury to the top of the Ridgeway, amazing views!
The post ride pint went down far to quickly!
Did London-Cambridge-London on the road yesterday then 2hrs MTB at Epping forest today. Naturally I am applying a lot of Johnsons Cocoa Butter cream to my arms which are currently British Racing Red.
Did a local funduro @Ae...
Damn it was hot then had the mnpr crowd up for some bellendery
Got in a 3hr doorstep ride this morning, set off at 04:30 to avoid the heat.
Just a spin round the FOD on Friday with a mate, met non-riding friends yesterday and family stuff today.
Would go out this evening but I've got my first day in a new job Monday so don't want to turn up knackered, dehydrated and sunburnt!
I didn't. Yesterday and today are day 7 & 8 of isolation because some dickhead thought letting covid rip in schools was a good idea.
Sorry for thread derail. Very annoyed.
A couple of hours on the road bike. Very quiet traffic-wise and a nice fly over by the Red Arrows.
The golfy yesterday- late start and rode into the evening to beat the heat, still feel like a dried raisin though.
Off to Glentress tomorrow to take a mate round the newer offpiste stuff for the first time
I did the Friday Night Ride to the Coast to Brighton, and rode back on Saturday. Only the third time I’ve done a 200km+ ride in a oner.
It was pretty hot coming home. Was nailing the fluids and still had pee like treacle by the time I finished.
Just back from FOD, strangely quiete today.
Did a 60km ride around East Devon this morning. Even going out at 6.30am it was stupidly hot by 10am 😅
Lovely ride, though still a surprising amount of mud around considering how hot it's been.
Discovered a farm with a new honesty shed, with homemade chocolate cake. Which was nice.
We’re in Keswick for a week so we’ve just got back from doing the two “red” loops at Whinlatter. Cracking effort from our 11yr old to get round them both in this heat - it’s absolutely roasting here today, definitely earned my beer.

Friday, had my first ever trip to Surrey Hills. Amazing weather and had a great ride round, taking in Yoghurt Pots, Telegraph Row, Summer Lightning and BKB. Hope to go back in October.
This morning, just a local ride round the Kent North Downs. 7 am start to beat the heat.
A loop around kinver for me, now a couple of pints in the foresters to rehydrate.
Yesterday we did a 20 mile loop out of Clapham in the Dales,we do a big loop from there but it was proper warm yesterday so we decided to just do the 20 miles.
It was good to enjoy dry trails!

Today I was back out doing my usual loop on the road bike.I was out fairly early to avoid most of the heat
Nowhere, it's too hot for us so we had a mooch round Sedgefield car boot sale early doors instead (I got some bargain Lego!!!) and now we're watching the T20 [i]avec[/i] homebrew 😎
Crap phone pic of the road up to Buckstone Edge
It was sweltering in W Yorkshire.
30km ride with the dog around the Redwoods in Rotorua. Very wet n windy but a great morning out.
