Nice write-up
Thanks. I used to write a lot, but not very often about cycling
Septembers done . Something a bit different this month ,I'm away on my holidays on the Isle of man so of course I had to ride the TT course which is 37 miles long so with the ride to and from made a total of 65 miles . The Mountain took me 43 minutes to climb some 1400ft up from sea level start . Then less than 10 minutes to descend .

nice , this weekend was a bust for me due to crappy weather and a dodgy knee , enforced rest and ice pack.
Amazingly yesterday I had to put sun screen ,bit outcast today and it was misty on the mountain, hope the knee clears up
Nice one. I'd like to do that ride.
It is an amazing route with a bit of everything the problem today was it was misty on the mountain so no views . Did it early Sunday morning to beat the traffic not that there is much but wanted to around before the pretend TTers were about

yesterday was rainy / damp most if the day here and mrs ck work times meant i couldnt get out as although mini 1 is technically old enough to keep an eye on mini ck2 i wouldnt trust em alone together for the amount of time needed to rock off a 100 km ride .
Knee doesnt feel too bad today, just a little niggle and tender but as its the one i had the cartilage snipped last year im not risking it especially as i have to cycle to work tomorrow and im still restricted at work with my thumb fusion till i get sign off from the works doctor then i need a workplace assessment to see if there are any jobs i cant do ( anything with impact guns is out to start )

Decided to use the 100 Climbs Peak Challenge for one of my 100km ride and tick off a few climbs I have not done before (Slack Hill - shouldn't have bothered), Star Disk (couldn't manage it, thanks to Wirksworth Festival, cooked legs and an idiot revving his car behind me). Jaggers Lane and Stanton in Peak were both new routes and the latter was the prettiest with views almost as good as Longstone Edge.
