Very nice. I have to get out there myself I reckon!

Breakfast:

Great pics guys. KCR where was your picture taken?

I went out on a fifty mile hilly road ride, I fished my bike out of the car checked to see if I had a tube, found I hadn’t but thought it’s too good a day to waste. So went for it. I’m glad I did, I saw more cyclists than cars on lovely quiet back roads. I dodged the headwinds through the valleys and on the climbs then picked up a huge tailwind home. Road rides that good don’t happen too often.

Woke up early, kissed mrs file as she left for work and pretended I had some important stuff to do….

45 minutes later I was starting the Glen Loin loop on the new steed. Still buzzing after getting back to Arrochar, with plenty of life left in the legs, I decided to push half way up Ben Donich and charge back down. Bliss.

You’re going to kick yourself if I tell you…

Tried some 745mm ones but didn’t get on with them. Those are 680mm & feel nice.

Yes, Bishop Hill

2 hours along the coast at St David’s for me, starting out at 6.10am as I was bored. Got very windy and a bit wet at the end, but its Wales, its bound to happen!

I was out on the bmx this morning, beautiful morning to be out riding.

Flat as a pancake where I live so went for a run this morning…… it was rubbish 🙁

Peterfile in “cycling post” shocker!

Got up 28degrees beautiful sunshine, crystal blue water off on the trails for 2hours then windsurfing this afternoon. Ace

Tell me about it! 2 years and 2 months after being told to stay off the bike, I’m finally back in the saddle 🙂

Honestly, it felt like something out of a cheesy Hollywood movie as I rode that loop, grinning like a maniac and just enjoying being on a bike.

Although, I was half way up Ben Donich, looking back at what I was about to ride down and suddenly thought….hmmmm, this is how you ended up having to take an extended holiday from bikes in the first place you muppet! Enthusiasm > Skills 🙂

Fingers crossed, I’ve been strengthening my core gradually for a long time now and not had any further problems.

I honestly can’t believe how much I missed being on a bike. I was dancing in the car the whole way up the A82!

I thought it looked local.

To KCR – sorry to refer to another closed post, but saw your 4 day fort william / montrose mtb epic, and wondered if you could tell me a bit more?

to kcr – sorry, my e mail (re last post) is jsolewis@yahoo.co.uk, thanks

Not the best pic as my phone captured either the ground or the sky, but it was beautiful in ‘real life’.

great pics peterfile!

Oooh I had no idea you were on a lay-off PF, I thought you just liked hanging out here 😛

peterfile That looks really nice. What a great place to ride.

What do you want to know about the C2C? It’s a few years since I rode it, so you will probably be able to get more up to date accounts, but happy to try and answer questions.
