So, where is everyone riding this sunny weekend?

Looks set to be a scorcher, and we’re off to the Peaks on Friday so:

Stop off at Sherwood Pines on the way up and meet my brother
Cut Gate on Saturday
General Edale/Mam Tor/etc ride on Sunday

Then further north to Alnwick to my parent’s next week and hopefully Keilder at some point…

I’m so excited, like a 4 year old in a sweetie shop! 😀

Mix of road/off road around Salisbury Plain whenever I can fit it in around a hectic schedule of BBQ and beer!

And going to the LBS to spend some money! Woo! New helmet for starters. Might treat myself to something else if I can get inspired.

don’t know. it’s a surprise.

it was my birthday last thursday, and one of my presents from the missus is a weekend away. i don’t know where we are going (but i suspect north wales due to her traffic and timing comments) and i don’t know what we’re doing, but we’re taking bikes (she specified full suss, rather than hardtail 🙂 )

it was my birthday last thursday, and one of my presents from the missus is a weekend away.

So, we know who where you’ll be riding then….! 😉

Happy Belated Birthday!

The Limousin for completely empty trails in big hills. Going to be shown some new areas as well as riding in some of my favourite places

Off to Dalby on Monday, but I’m in the process of seeing if I can convince someone to give me a lift to the Peak at some point over the weekend…

Friday, Sunday and Monday. Peak District. Monday is a road ride though.

Road road and more road.

Sons birthday on StGeorges day though, so I’ll have to stop for a bit I supose.

Lake district tomorrow, gonna demo an st4 which should be cool.

Auchindrain I think.. or maybe a raid on Arran…

checking out the singletack in thetford for the 1st time in ages, but not sure which day

Decorating all weekend, but riding in Wales Tuesday and Wednesday next week 😀

I’m thinking of touring the Purbecks with a tent 🙂

Awww, what a good missus you have there Alfabus.

Thursday night at Gisburn – not my usual thing but off to the Howgills to ride horses rather than bikes for the weekend at a Hen Do. Hopefully will get to ride bikes on Monday if I can sneak off early.

Friday – Thorndon Country Park, Essex,
Saturday/Sunday – Local roads to try and build up some mileage,
Monday – Out running (jogging!), hoping to clock up a 10k+.

Thats the plan anyway….

fri-mon north wales including a first time snowdon experience.

Those of you going to thetford, this recent weather has turned parts of the trail almost beach like. Take your bucket and spade 🙂

Camping near Nant-yr-Arian Fri to Mon, so its a dry Syfydrin one day and a quick Summit before returning Monday. Mrs BP and the 2 dogs will take up remaining time.
Loving the sun 😀

Have a great ride everyone

Friday-Monday riding in the Lakes
Tuesday-Friday riding in the 7Stanes
Saturday-Monday riding in N Wales
Yippee!

Some really nice views off the Syfydrin at the moment!

Personally, so long as I find a mate to ride with, will probably do the Syfydrin (plus some other stuff :D) Saturday and then dyfi Sunday

not 100% yet, but contemplating my first 50(52) mile run, train up to bidge of allan, head for loch venacher, over to aberfoyle, south thru the forest roads, join on to the whw at drymen and then through mugdock to milngavie.. mix of road and forest roads. should be good, forcast is excellent, i’m taking extra shorts for a dip in some loch somewhere! it’ll take me all day but it’ll be fun. 🙂

50(52) mile run

i hope you mean cycle! 😮

i hope you mean cycle!

haha, aye! 😀

I’m doing a STW Dartmoor ride on Sunday – everyone welcome to join in the fun.

I was contemplating the Q’s but Les has tempted me to Dartmoor

MIL coming to visit Friday night until Monday morn. Not looking forward to it!

Not sure yet, but thinking about popping my 100 mile off-road cherry with a Swan’s Way double on Saturday if this cold I’ve got doesn’t get too much worse. Well, not quite the whole double, I’ll cut out the ~10 miles between Goring & Watlington I think. 110 miles off-road on the singlespeed should be an interesting challenge!

Not doing any riding at the weekend, but since we have Monday off… We’re of to Stainburn for the day.

Pete – if you’re going to Alnwick then the Cheviots isn’t far away! The Ingram Valley isn’t far away, as is Bewick Moor where I enjoyed a very pleasant ride with sea views.

Have a great time anyway! 😀

Off camping with the nipper on Friday and going to give the legs a well deserved rest ready for a few days of biking with “the lads” in mid wales on Sunday. I have put so many miles in this last two weeks they are in tatters at the moment.

Thurs/fri St Albans
Sat Rhayder
Sun FOD
Mon Wye Valley
Tues Cotswolds
Weds road
Thurs Road or local
Fri SSEC 2011 Belgiumshire.

i’ll probably just go to the local woods, lordswood as its running so sweet at the moment. tonight was great
but if i had an entire day to waste on the bike id probably try to get to the purbecks!

Local spin (Greenham Common) tomorrow, Afan Friday (Wall) & Saturday (W2?), then maybe local again or Swinley on Monday 🙂

massive camping festival at herts. all weekend. live music, beers and stoopidity 🙂

Everyone seems to have lots fo fun sounding things planned!

I’m working Friday, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday and then some sort of (bikeless) family day trip on the Sunday. Probably for the best cus my wrist isn’t working at the moment! 🙁

Working in a bike shop means I still get to enjoy the sunshine though 😛

Racing DH at Gethin on Saturday & Sunday, staying over & riding XC at Afan on the Monday 🙂

Weather certainly looks good for it!

Train to New Mills and then Hayfield, Mellor, Marple etc and back to my house in Manchester tomorrow hopefully

saladdoger, the Quantocks is pretty slippery at the moment due to the dusty trails, it’s best that you avoid it because we don’t want you falling off (again). Oh, hang on, it’s not just dusty trails that you fall off of 😆
