Your ride today.... (part 1)

[Rickshaw Phil]

A quick run out to Acton Burnell and back for me this afternoon. Just over 19 miles at just under 12mph (11.97 according to my calculations)

On the way out I helped rescue a chap in a Renault Espace who'd got his car wedged on the verge and couldn't move. He was getting extremely stressed out about it so it was nice to do a good deed.

The rest of the ride was fairly uneventful but it got pretty cold once the sun started to set.

Just the one picture today. It was a bit too dark for photography really, but I liked this silhouette of The Lawley, Caer Caradoc and the edge of the Long Mynd against the fading light:

A 35 mile charity ride from Bangor to Rhyl to raise funds for the flood victims at St Asaph. There were about 12 of us and some were novice cyclists so hats off to them for completing it.

25miles loop around the back lanes and coast road between Ulverston, Roa island and Barrow-in-Furness South Cumbria. Including a mile or so walk along a road completely frozen with sheet ice at 10:30am even though it was bright sunshine. Good chat with a cyclist at Roa Island whilst having a stop, found out he lives round the corner from me so we rode home together talking bikes, good couple of hours out.

A short ride to test my newly rebuilt wheels to the shops, to buy some eggs and bread, 12.5 miles. Blumen taters out today 'n all.

Broke two eggs!

No ride today, despite the temperature not getting above -2 all day the local roads seem to have been "treated" with something to make it more icy rather than anything which might have an impact on making them less hazardous. Oh well.

Hope you freeze to your saddle tonight.

40 miles in a deep freeze today...nice fast pace to keep warm..ice in places but not dangerous.

Once again, after a bit of a break, I was back out on the bike today - a slow but ride with the Breeze ladies. Great to be back on two wheels, hoping this will motivate me into taking the road bike out tomorrow.

My ride walk today was 3 miles due to having a cyst removed in the saddle area

I went on a shortened PCC Early Birds this morning it was a really nice day so I went for another ride, fought the headwind quite well I thought; picked up a slow p'ture and didn't see the benefit of it. Stupidly , I thought if I stop to fix it I'd finish in the dark and I could fix it at home, so I pressed on until it came unbearable. I was just saying the other day I was due a visit. After I fixed it my speed nearly doubled, if I'd done it straight away I probably would have saved 30minutes

Wet start, 46 miles in the wet and a wet finish . Think I managed to comply with rules 5 and 9 quite well.
