Your ride today.... (part 1)

[skudupnorth]

26 mile urban round-trip to my brothers in Urmston today. Just for @skudupnorth and @Potsy a selection of Sri Lankan curries and side dishes were consumed. and photographed.

No cake ?

When you have a partner who suffers from Raynauds, today perhaps wasn't the ideal one to go riding, we did however push along at a good pace and managed just under 40 miles. Every time the road went down into a shady dip so did the temperature, 4 hours after the ride her hands are just getting back to normal.

At least you got out,well done and hope all is well

No cake ?

Oh yes a large chocolate one with candles on it, for my nephews birthday and then a raspberry roulade and a caramel roulade. By that point I was too stuffed to get the camera.

Ice just adds to the fun of riding

54.1 miles. I went out with the club but had a slight tumble and kicked myself for being so stupid as to not listen to what has turned out to be my own prescient advice - namely, don't ride with any hint of ice around. Luckily I was going very slowly and the rest of the ride was fine.

...was bloody wonderful!

Pretty sure I passed Lizzy Armistead on today's ride. I'd just left my house and she was going the other way, and had just stopped for some reason with her ride buddy.

:swoon:

Horrible wind today, but it cheered up just I was getting towards home.

Thats one of the few benefits of being down here, its a bit milder; from reports the East Coast of Scotland sounds similar!

My rides today firstly involved the club run and some relaxed wandering in the afternoon.

out from Preston south to lanes west of Eccleston. Took the fixed as I was worried about ice - and there was plenty of it about. Did about 30 miles total. Didn't eat at all and got a bit spaced out on the homeward leg. Feet slowly went numb. Saw 5 other cyclists in total. Nice sunny day but cold. Going out south and back north turned out to be wise as I had the low winter sun on my back on the way home.

 

[EltonFrog]

45 miles today.

I feel a bit self righteous about today's ride though, it was to run an errand and to collect something that I would normally use the car to do, but today I rode instead. Where's the smug smiley?

It was nice too, a new route, the sun was out, very little wind, av sp 16.9, bacon sarny, cup o splosh, what's not to like.
