Hardtail from the back door after a day of heavy downpours, turned into a nice evening.

Good pics those. 2nd one especially.
Somehow heavy rain and cold winds left us with hero dirt
Fantastic ride. Still too damn cold to go to the pub tho!

First time this year that weather and length of daylight has enabled us to do a big Beacons ride on a Wednesday evening. The light this evening was sublime. Shame I only had a (poor quality) phone with me to capture any shots.

Managed a day trip south to the lakes with my old boss. The mizzle in Borrowdale made for some testing rocky sections.

Dry, Sunny, riding in Shorts & T shirt until 10pm with no lights, Kom’s, cups and Beer. Nice Wednesday night trail club over the Purbecks last night.

Cycled out to Loch of Skene on Tuesday night.
Was a lovely ride but a bit too much of it was on road for my liking. I'll have to check some maps for next time to seek out more gravel routes/farm tracks.
Also fell into a cattle grid whilst trying to get my bike under a gate 😀

Tuesday morning a few laps on the local hill with Mrsstu.

Got the 4 corners of Dunkeld done finally.
Most high points are still in trees so views not as good as they could be but you get the idea.
Should probably have done Cairn to Cottage for the cairn pic but fancied the other side of Craigvinean while it's dry.

New tyres on and a quick lowers service at lunchtime and a few damp miles, tyres are not as draggy as I expected, but the grip is impressive already.

Over the Purbecks last night, riding down to Old Harry there was a Marines Helicopter out on manoeuvres, as we we’re about to entertain Garlic woods, it came over landed next to us, then buggered off again.

No pictures from last nights ride, but it was nice to not have to clean mud off everything. Hopefully it will stay like that for a while.

Quick morning ride on the local trails for us yesterday.
Surprisingly dry.

Very rare, kid-free, mid-week ride on the Chase with Mrs LJ. Even better, it was her suggestion.

If Monday counts as midweek. Snuck out to look at the Daffs, then went exploring in the woods and found lots of interesting trails. mostly under horse-indented clag!

Tuesday evening must be mid week right.

Woke up early and it was a beautiful sunrise so I thought I'd get up and take the hardtail for a jaunt down the valley. It's set up as with slicks as a commuter at the moment and hasn't been out for ages, because who commutes any more? It's just, like, sooooooo 2019, yeah?
I stuck to tarmac today, but I'm shoving the Small Block 8's on it at lunchtime so I can take some local bridleway detours for morning spins in this forecast decent weather
A nice start to the apex of the week though...

40 miler up through the Dales from home, first ride with summer tyres, and conditions nigh-on perfect for them. Dust!
Rewarded with an Apache flyby waiting for my train back at the highest mainline station in England.

No, just circling around for a bit on Whernside, presumably practicing his 'popping up from a few miles away and killing folk' technique on day-trippers near Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Or idiots filming him from railway platforms. 🙂

like those pics @jimmy748 🙂
This pic is very boring.
However it does mean 2 things
1) silverfish have warrantied/fixed my very squishy / noisy X2
2) we went to the pub and sat in the beer garden for the first time in 2022. Outside post ride beer is an important box ticked.
Roll on the weekend 🙂

All riding is great, right. But sometimes you get those rides that just hook up to perfection. Just 80 minutes last night. Local trails. Fast and dry and grippy, not yet too dusty. Twisty rooty singletrack. Gravel bike just riding really well. Me feeling great. Gorgeous early evening sun. Trees starting to burst with green. Bluebells out.
