Better make the most of it if this is anything to go by! Hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

First ride this year thanks to our lovely weather down south. First ever outing too for my Garmin 500. No idea how to use it properly but at least I can now do Strava stuff like the big boys and girls.

Quite windy but still something to build on.

I just got one too
Good so far, but need the floods to go to do more serious rides

Just looked at the settings and didn't have it set up to stop timing when stopped so being caught by every light coming back certainly hurt my average speed.

I finally got home early enough to take a bike to do some errands before it got dark. It felt great riding a drop bar bike again. Even not being in top riding shape, not clipped in and not wearing padded shorts while fighting after work traffic, it was nice to be back on the road bike. It wasn't even very cold, I warmed up very quickly since I haven't been doing much riding. I also went after the most hills I could find, so it was not a bad little workout.

Looks cool. Just a day or so ago it was single digits here, forecast to be 70F here on Sat. then once again drop down over the next few days after that, but hopefully not down to single digits again. This is normally the coldest week or two we get during winter.

Nothing doing here, man flu has knocked me sideways. I haven't even road tested the new mudguards.

Sorry to hear that Brian. Hope you get over it quickly.

Oh! the joys of retirement, weather nice again so went out for a briskish 18.5 miles at a new high average of 15.1mph. Only marred by a group of lads in a Chav Saxo who seemed to think they should drive through a speed control pinch point where I had priority, I assumed primary to block their way and received some somewhat impolite advice as to where I should stick my bike

 

[L14M]

Yay! Another 10.1 miles in, hope to do 20 over the weekend

Think of it like this: probably every penny they spend on NI contributions comes to you

Not had much luck with riding this week (Issues to be solved....)

Hopefully get out this w/end help clear my head

Well done all who got out though...

 

[Mo1959]

Frosty out there.....not even thinking about attempting it so off out a decent walk with the dog.

I actually find walking in the cold very pleasant compared with cycling in it anyway. If it gets less cold later I might have just an hour before lunch.
