I am, midweek club ride over the hills behind Glyn Ceiriog. It's an awesome ride whatever the weather, but tonight is going to be special I think.
I'm taking the long off road route home, annoyed I only have a long sleeve jersey though!
Can you not roll the sleeves up ?
I'm riding home, will do 20 miles or so, but out for dinner, so can't do any more. Looks even nicer tomorrow.
i'm in the long sleeved club here too, what a muppet!
It'll be a long road ride home, via the stables to sort out the horse. Should be a good all round work out!
yep all set for a 2nd night ride of the year in a tee shirt ๐
Just got in from a 2 hour spin round the local woods. Fantastic weather.
BrightonMTB Tuesday ride for me.
Did a 1.5 hour blast last night in short sleeves, planning on repeating tonight
Nope and its sods law that its a beautiful evening ๐
I will however be preping and packing my Mtb for a weeks riding holiday in the Atlas Mountains starting on Saturday ๐
Suppose to be out with the wife but I'm knackered from work so I'm secretly hoping she can be persuaded to have a bimble rather than the 'coaching' session she wants in steep corners and drops. Reckon I'll struggle to ride them myself let alone show her how to ride them!
May go for a blast tonight in local woods on the MTB.
Had planned on a great big road ride after work. A Yale key put an end to that this morning when I was commuting in. Picked it up and tore a very large hole in my back tyre. Train for me tonight.
long commute home on the road for me (quiet lanes), pub quiz later ๐ Winners price of four pints from last week waiting for us too ๐
Hill of Fare in Aberdeenshire for a quick blast before I start nightshift. I predict I'm going to be tired at 7am tomorrow.
It's decidedly grey outside, but is dry.
Day off today so had a quick spin at cwmcarn attempting (badly) to conquer some of my demons on the downhill tracks in the dust.
Planning a very short road ride with my son aged 16 between arriving home and sitting down for supper, no more than 10 miles but taking in a steep climb up the dreaded Whalley Nab for leg strength training. Shared experience is good for Dad-son relations!
Already been out at lunchtime. Very nice it was too. Training on the TT bike so didn't see much!
I'm going to squeeze in a 30 mile road ride to crack the 100 miles for the week so far.
I'm out, Holcombe and surrounding moors this eve ๐
I was out all day today!
Chilly first thing but a b-e-a-utiful day!
Got slight sunburn and glove spots on my hands!
Stunning all day here on the coast, beaches were full and after the spectacular early sea mist cleared the place has been blazing and super dry.
Chose the CX'er for a long hack, sunburned arms and knees... And compulsory red nose.
Woooflippinhooo ๐
But I'm done for the day so you go out and enjoy it.
Out tonight maybe a cold beer at the end to.
I'd bloody love to, but under orders to rest another day .
Broken rib and intercostal damage from a slip on rocks, walking Snowdon a few days ago. Have fun folks !
I'll be sat in the sun having me tea with a bottle of ale.
Knackered today after sleepless night with poorly little girl ,but tomorrow Marsden moor and Wessenden ressy straight after work ,chasing the sun ride
Just got back from 25 miles off road in the sun, I picked my holiday week well!
Just off to do a few hill reps and swallow some flies.
I should point out that tomorrow's sun is due solely to me taking the day off to take delivery of a new turbo trainer.
Another cold for me, it's lovely out, all those muddy freezing Tuesday's I did to earn it and I'm in bed preparing for hallucinations. Sucks.
Riding around in a van delivering shopping, watching everyone else out on their bikes.
Stuck on a delayed Pendolino, crawling north from London......
Took the day off today and rode Gisburn. My first proper MTB ride since breaking my elbow. Pushed bits I'd previously been fine riding up, bottled a few bits on the downs die to a hit to my confidence, but otherwise a glorious day out.
Just nailed some jumps I've never done before, it helped spending yesterday with Jedi. :))
Just back from my 14 mile Greenham Common loop. Everything is a dust fest. No murky bike to clean........... Hang on...... that's the same as all of last week, which I had off and rode most days too......... ๐
Happy Days.......
Just been checking out a new spot for an hour. Not the best ride ever but glorious weather and my legs feel nice and achy now.
I was all set to get out earlier this eve, and as soon as i thought about it, the phone has been ringing off the hook continuously! (oh, the joys of running ones own business ๐
Sensational around Cannock this evening
First mid-ride not-rock-solid chocolate bar of the year nom nom nom
Well I have to say I hope you enjoyed it if you got out.
For now the Suns going down it's bloody freezing (15C) ๐
Had a lovely afternoon pootle with a mate on the Selby to York path, with a pint in the Blacksmith's at Naburn on the retun leg.
A rapid 32 miles on the road bike. Sun was just setting as I got home. Food and beer now, then ready for bed.
Me! I managed to get out for a quick spin round the local woods with my other half and the dog. Had a great time, which put a smile on our faces which biking hasn't managed for some time :).
Dog managed to run into a tree too, which caused a good laugh after a brief period of concern...
Quick 9 1/2 miler on the MTB just got back now.
Just a Pootle, stopped by the lake for a bit, nipped to Nans grave, then quick blast back through the park as the sun was setting and the local drunks were pitching up for the night ๐
20 miles on the commute home. I live 4.4 miles from the office so it is fun to get creative now the evenings are back.
Bit of cheeky singletrack on the way to work through Swinley forest, and a lot more on the way home. Nice ๐
22 miles of sunny lanes and stiff climbs on the Chinese cheap import road bike
Ace local blast in the peaks tonight first time this year with light only needed for the last half hour.

Quick blast on the road bike, our club's inaugural training bash.
Hope this one will grow a bit as the summer goes on, really enjoyed it...
Two hours around wollaston then kinver and then ludlow gold to finish,top draw,
One of those awesome rides with one killer climb and one arm pumping descent. Was a nice 24c by the time we stopped for a beer at dusk.
Out tonight again, it was glorious last night, hoping for more of the same tonight
was planning to be, but Pirbright's ablaze. Anyone nearby able to give any info where might still be open? Was aiming for Tunnel Hill and maybe Porridgepot, fire seems to be on Ash but reports say that surrounding roads are also closed.

Out tonight on the weekly night ride, did a glorious 20 miler last night and a really nice 13 miles on Monday night.
Family back late tonight so making the most of the 'single' time! ๐
Aberdeenshire looks nice and sunny, I'm about to get in my gear and head to Pitfichie for a couple of laps.
Just had to text a mate and advise I would be missing tonights bike and beer event as I am away in Cambridge tonight.
However, given the huge number of cyclists enjoying their bikes in Cambridge this evening, I shall be enjoying the fine weather indirectly 8)
Yep I finished work a bit early today so had an hour at Woburn afterwards! Definitely feels like summer already ๐ One of those rides where you have the confidence to try some new stuff so I had a go at the option gap jump halfway down Transfer Line and almost wrapped myself round the same tree three times so decided to call it a day ๐
_tom_ I had a go at the option gap jump halfway down Transfer Line and almost wrapped myself round the same tree three times so decided to call it a day
I was just looking at that the other day. I say looking, because that's as far as I got! ๐
Had a three hour lunch break today so looked at a new bike and then took my Whyte Shoreditch commuter up to the Ridgeway for 24 miles of sunshine, breeze and topless french girls. Followed by a quick beer at the Goerga and Dragon and then back to the office.
I was just looking at that the other day. I say looking, because that's as far as I got!
The gap itself is fine, if you can do the jump before it you'll have more than enough speed (I ended up braking a bit before the gap actually), it's just the landing seems really narrow and my front tyre ended up grazing the tree to the right each time, so I think I may give it a miss in future ๐
