Your ride today.... (part 1)

[Ron-da-Valli]

The Brenig Bach audax.107km & 2000m of climbing so a bit tough at times. Some superb views on the tops but it was bloody hard work getting up there!

I went on my usual Holme Moss run, except I saw a group of riders in the distance at one point. They turned right, whereas I usually go straight on for a fast downhill at Catshaw , before the cafe stop a couple of miles on at Windmill Nurseries, Royd Moor

[willy wave mode on]So, knowing that the roads would meet in a few miles I decided to chase and passed all 17 riders up the next hill [willy wave mode off]. I did say "hello" to each one I passed

They were wearing Emley White Horse Wheelers jerseys, which is one of the local clubs. They'd previously given me an invite to ride with them. However, they arrived at the cafe stop about 15 minutes after I did with a glare in my direction - I guess that offer's been rescinded.

56 flat miles today. My first ride out in 3 weeks. Legs were certainly feeling it from around 44 miles.

Coffee n Walnut cake too dry No rain and warm enough for another outing in shorts

We had quite a few p'tures on our club ride this morning but fortunately not me so we cut the ride short. I had started in early morning mist but it ended in sunshine; it was only then I could see the extent of the flooding

 

[Cheshire Celt]

Just a little 111 miles and 11000 ft of climbing

 

[skudupnorth]

66.6 miles with 400BHP and Sport Monkey over the Snake Pass to Hathersage then back over Winnats Pass which at 1:3 at its steepest is not my idea of fun. Sport Monkey rode it on a SS which was going quite well until Winnats bit back with a vengence .

Just for @Potsy I took an arty photo.

I get nightmares at the thought of Winnats pass

I could'nt even climb the damn thing on the mountain bike ! I kept dipping a toe because the wind kept pushing me over !

Lol, it is just too steep to be fun. I don't mind long drags where you can get a bit of a rhythm going, but Winnats is too much of a bar chewer for me. It didn't end with, yeah I've done it, it was more just thank f*** that is over.

I'll go back with the road bike and beat the evil hill soon !

Another 23 miles this morning with family and friends, a bit of a slower ride but nice, stopped for a coffee and cake, brings my total mileage for the weekend to just over 80 miles, not to bad.

 

[smokeysmoo]

A short but hilly* 20 miler around the glorious Lancashire countryside on my lonesome.

Garmin route is HERE

* hilly by my standards anyway

 

[coffeejo]

I went mountain biking in the Quantocks this morning - couldn't see a thing thanks to the thick mist that shrouded the hills so only did 6 miles before retreating home. Lots of fun though. And muddy. Very muddy...

 

[potsy]

Just short of 12 miles for me, nothing very exciting just a leg stretcher
Very bright today, no visibility problems here
