It is (down here anyway) a STUNNING day, who's riding where?

beautiful day so far! sitting here in my office, patio doors open looking out onto the garden, birds and squirrels darting about the place, industrial fan on in the corner of the office, huge acoustic playlist running from the ipod through PC speakers. patients in a good mood so far….

who’s doing something nice today? anybody getting out on their bikes today?

riding in swinley this evening with a few local mates, torminalis and possibly yeti if he remembered to bring his bike to work today.

and for those who haven’t.. extend the happy feelings by thinking happy thoughts on THIS DELIGHTFUL THREAD

Its chucking it down up north Phil. Standard north west August day really!

Coffee on the stove.
Porridge in the microwave.
Road bike ready for a trip into town.
Then back for a blast round the woods on the MTB.

I love being part time.

I’m going ice skating Philly. Got me own skates and everything.

Yep, in Preston and its lashing down, what summer? 🙄

you going with ‘you know who’ from ‘you know where’ yeti? 😀

It just stopped raining here in Edinburgh, looks like it will be a miserably grey day. Still can’t complain, summer was pretty good so far.

Enjoy your nice weather.

Aye, that’s correct Mr C. I’m learning about compromise and stuff.

Overcast and far too humid again up here so probably no sleep again today, I’m not riding as just finished nights.

Sorry about the rain up North chaps. We’re off to the lakes on holiday in a few hours. My fault.

Driving down South from “that London thing” this moring was unbelievably beatuiful.. Early morning sunrise high cloud, with hanging low lying mist on the fields around the south M25 and stunning low water tide harbour gorgeousness to great me at home..
I shall indeed be out on the 29er tonight, most deffo.

Nice commute in this morning, rode in with someone who also works here and lives near me, small World and all that. Was a strange conversation as I pulled along side, where you heading etc… turns out we both work in the some general area and know of each other by name.

Looking forward to the ride home already, might stop for a cheeky pint also 8)

This. Except its still raining over this side of Edinburgh. I shall mostly be sitting in damp clothes today. *plans travel adventure to somewhere it never rains*

Wet, grey and overcast here in Stanesland(Dumfries)
Off to assist with an NHS disabled kids cycle skills session(1 of 4) followed by a possible ride at Mabie/Ae to follow 😆

Absolutely stunning here in NW Hampshire. Shame the view outside of my office doesn’t match the weather though, unless of course you like Volvo 8×4 FM Chassis’.

Only 7 hours to go until I can enjoy the delights of the Hants/ Wilts countryside. Evening road ride planned tonight. 😀

A bright light just appeared in the sky and nearly blinded me, fortunately the nasty thing has gone away again. 😈

Muggy and overcast in the North East and I’m still sunburnt from the Sunderland Air Show at the weekend. 😳

BUT I managed a nice commute into work:
12 miles through Tyneside Country Park and alongside the Tyne into the toon. Bunny rabbits, birds singing and the odd hint of sun peeking through. Lovely.

Busy packing for a holiday…. but will be out tonight in the hot, dusty New Forest 😀

Then…. a week with no bike…. 🙁

Peeing it down here in Kendal child free day here so will be swopping some headsets around/regreasing then heading out on a nightride with the Ridethelakes crew.

Raining in ‘Alifax but I’m waterproof so I’m going to play around Hebden Bridge.

Stuck in the office at the mo, but sun is shining and a ride is planned this evening (Gorrick 12:12 course at Minley) followed by a pub stop 🙂

Can’t wait

It’s a black iridiums kind of day in that London today.

But dont be moving too quickly, or you’ll break out in a sticky sweat in no time.

Great weather in the East Midlands today, I’m off to Woburn whenever I can be bothered to put my bike in the car! Last UK summer ride before my bike gets cleaned up then packed away for its long holiday abroad 🙂

Not going too far from a weapons-grade fan today. It was hot, moist and dusty on the Chase last night and I went a bit too far and a bit too fast.

Out on the cross bike this evening taking in some of the SW Nottingham/Long Eaton bridleways. In the meantime, sat at the desk with a small rivulet of sweat running down my back…

Overcast/grey/ black, here in South Cheshire, quite warm and humid as well.Off to Shrewsbury on the 2:08 from platform 6 in a couple of hours to sample some decent beers 😉 .

Currently overcast in Bristol but BBC weather says it’ll be sunny just in time for me to finish work and go for a spin round Ashton Court.

Trying to decide where to ride at the weekend – will be near Hexham and can’t decide whether to go to Kielder, Hamsterly, Inners/Glentress or just for a leisurely spin on the moors.

been out in the garden watering the plants (an excuse to stand outside in the sun in a vest a shorts) hope this holds out for the evenings ride!

Perma drizzle seems to have settled in here in Edinburgh. I’ve just attempted some woodworking and now my recovering, broken shoulder is aching. Later I’m riding an exercise bike in the gym.

I am sat on Tankerton beach right now watching my kids splashing around in the water. Lovely, hot and steamy down here on the Kent coast. Water is pretty warm and we’re having a great time!

Only live a 3 minute walk away so this is a daily thing. 8)

Will be out on the road bike for quick 40 miles through the orchards this evening, been a bumper crop this year, the poor trees are groaning under the weight of apples.

It was supposed to rain here in the West Midlands so I came the fun way over Cannock Chase this morning expecting it to be the last dry commute for a while, but the sun’s out and it’s really rather nice. Fun way back home too then!

Ithought I was going out for a 20 mile pootle along the Devon coast to the beach, turns out the Devon coast ‘is a little bit hilly’ and am now enjoying a relax on the beach

Still glorious in in SE Berks, Swinley calls, only another 2 hrs and I’ll answer!

Abandoned earlier skills session and ride..there is wet and then there 👿 wet 🙄 We had an almighty stair rods downpour before I got anywhere and the main roads were awash with water.
Did`nt fancy riding through trails buried under water ❗
Dried up a bit now so may go out later but probably more likely tomorrow.

lovely out today, a very warm 81F 3.5hr local ride.

Very close and humid but going to meet a mate, and get a few miles in round Cheshire on the road bike tonight.

Very nice at Woburn today, ground’s not quite as beachy as it was last month! So close to clearing the last jump of the transfer line (the one that lands into the bombhole) and for the first time felt like I got some reasonable distance on the last hip line jump 🙂

I was supposed to be going to Aston Court with a friend, but had to come home. You know what? I’m going out for a cheeky bimble in 30 minutes.

lovely ride last night, mrsconsequence is away in coventry for some residential course with her new job so we rode last night at a good pace, only one stop other than 15 seconds every-now-and-then for liquid, beautiful weather….

i love it when you feel that riding buzz the next day knowing its less than 36 hours before the next ride 😀
