Cannock for me on Sunday I reckon, it is Father’s day after all 😉 perhaps local tonight if the wife’ll let me.
What have you lot got planned? I’m aware there’s some sort of mayhem thing going on! good luck and happy trails, keep it between the ditches 😀
Cannock after work this evening, road ride Saturday evening, Sunday MTB but unsure where just yet, may depend on whether my bearings have been replaced or not.
About the best I’ll manage with the broken jaw is maybe an 8 mile total out and back road pootle on the old Kona HT to Bakewell on Sunday to have a mooch round Eroica
Doing the Three Dales Challenge on Sunday – it’s a Sue Ryder charity event – 64Km from Grassington over to Settle and back plus a few bits you aren’t normally allowed on.
30 miles tomorrow on the road with a couple of non-cycling mates I think. Then, hangover pending 60 more with the wife Sunday. May head out tonight too, weather pending.
Avoiding the OH’s irritating teenage nephew and not so irritating niece who we’re babysitting by going out for a quick ride of my usual loop, then repeating the loop until my legs fall off and/or lights die.
Booze will be left in the house to make sure I’m not missed or to get me through the rest of the evening.
If the MTB looks clean after last nights ride, prob an hour in the garage on the rollers later.
Should be able to get out for a local blast tomorrow morning round the Forest before home duties require being done. But that’ be decided for me by the Mrs
Sunday, dunno yet. That will be decided by the weather, maybe The Lakes, Wales or Dark Peak
Probably take the kids out round Ashton court on sunday as the missus is at work (reminds me I need to fit the weeride back on the PA). Hopefully squeeze in a ‘me’ ride tomorrow too.
LittleMissMC is chuntering to go and ride at Hicks Lodge tomorrow, but none of the little friends she wants to show off to take along can make it. Hopefully I will persuade her to go anyway, or maybe just a local cafe pootle.
I have a pass for Sunday morning, thinking of trying my first club ride for a year as they now do a slow group as well as the fast guys. Or I might trundle up to L’Eroica for some hipster spotting.
Looks good, weather starting to get better so hopefully won’t be a bog in places.
Things have been fairly dry of late but I got absolutely soaked riding home this evening. Tomorrow is meant to be dry and most of the trails are reasonably weather proof.
Did 84k along the SDW yesterday, today 112k to catch it back where I left it and rode back home. Paddle boarded in a huge thunderstorm about an hour ago.
Tomorrow will be another 130k’sh wide loop of the Hampshire Downs, Sunday I’ll give it a rest and do some paddle boarding.
If anyones interested there is a big Kitesurfing competition on at Hayling Island. They hope to break a world record by having 450 kiteeee’s out on the water at the same time.
My first mayhem as part of a ten man team. All with retro bikes but most will bring something modern as well. Nothing serious but should manage 3 laps each if we push it. To be honest I haven’t ridden for a month since suffering shingles and losing all energy so not sure how I’ll fair.
Cannock today, keeping up with my once a month riding be only 6th time out this year 😯 which means every hill will be like an epic mountain climb no doubt!. With the same elation when the summit is reached…….. 🙂
Mountain Mayhem solo in about 4 hours time, it’s no longer sunny and has been chucking it down for most of the night, targets may need to be reassessed
