Morning. Bit dull here at the moment but mild again. Maybe some sun by afternoon. Nothing planned for me.
Coffee then out the door for an early wander by the river. Maybe too windy for cycling later............I shall see.

Bloody gulls have been squawking here since half four.
Nice weather today though so off for a long beach walk.
Rode to Kelso yesterday and had a coffee and hazelnut scone at Caroline's coffee shop. Delicious.
Almost came.to grief on the pavé in the town centre - some cosmetic damage to front wheel & it's also making a strange noise that will need investigating. 55 miles at 16mph. I'm getting my fitness back

Disappointing start to the day. It was forcast to be warm and sunny so I had a ride pencilled in. Its grey and quite cool.
I was planning a 20 miler and confess to a few nerves as its my first off road since October. I will report back.
But first, my coffee

I'm a bit nervy off road too. I just don't feel I have the balance/co-ordination/skills for anything remotely tricky. Inclined to stick to road cycling 95% of the time. I'm sure you'll be fine once you get going.

I haven't done off road since the tourig club used to include rough stuff in their rides in the 1980's.

Get outside and find out
I certainly dont do any real/serious off road. When I got this bike about 3 years ago I was clipless...... 2 'offs' and I quickly changed that
.The thing I DONT like about this bike is the wide handlebars.....I dont feel the control that I have with the road bike. I keep threatening to take an inch or so from each end.
The route has lots of potholes and some sharp bends with lots of loose gravel so I really slow down for them.

I have a Charge Grater hybrid that came with really wide handlebars. I chopped a couple of inches off and it was much better. Worth thinking about.I certainly dont do any real/serious off road. When I got this bike about 3 years ago I was clipless...... 2 'offs' and I quickly changed that
