Cheeky ride this afternoon

Sometimes being self employed has it’s upsides. I only had a couple of hours work today, so i loaded the bike into the van and went for a ride. Only an hour and a bit, but I managed to clear 2 climbs on my ss I’d been working towards for the last few rides, and helped a Belgian couple with directions. (Not at the same time).

Feeling really good afterwards, riding is definitely good for the soul.

Not self-employed but I do love a cheeky hour blast after work to de-stress.

20C, blue sky, after work ride looking distinctly possible, though the commie train drivers are doing their best to spoil that plan

Just wait until you’re retired it’ll blow your mind 👍

Same here, self employed, planned my day to finish early and get a ride in as the weather is great right now.

I was hoping to ride again today, ambitiously hoping to ride outside on each on the “tropical” days this week, but felt quite knackered after the slow ~2 hour pootle yesterday to make it out before the afternoon rush hour began ( I really don’t like the first/last ~2 miles closest to home during busy traffic periods).

… Hoping to pop out shortly, might even hold off dinner until I get back, as I’ve had intentions of post-dinner rides recently scuppered by feeling so bloated and lethargic after eating!

Even getting out for ~30mins without the commuter traffic will be lovely in this weather and I can try and do a bit more tomorrow.

Back from a 2 year injury recently. Had an afternoon in the sun riding above Ramsbottom yesterday. Glorious.
