Your ride today.... (part 1)

[ewan87]

I had a 14 mile ride from Johnstone to Lochwinnoch today, only had a few rides on my road bike and I'm building up my distance. it's not much compared to most on here but everyone has to start somewhere

I did a quick 20 miles around Staines and chertsey.
Nice to get out after a rubbish week with a work trip stopping any riding.

My old manor that, I used to cycle all round there in the 70's on the bike in my avatar <<<

I must get some gloves, I went speeding past my midway stop point as I couldn't put any pressure on the brake levers, caused a smile as I had a small audience. Also found out earlier twenty five year old koolstops aren't as 'grippy' as when they were new. Something else for the to buy list.

16.46 in the driving non stop cold rain this morning. The first eight very slowly, riding whilst the enemy was running to keep her company. She's training for the London Marathon. Then I did another eight as quick as a could. Bloody weather!

Horrible and wet. Took visiting friend for a ride. He had to make do with my old hybrid while I enjoyed the road bike. Despite the weather we did enjoy the ride and the average speed was not too shoddy (for the hybrid). Cheshire really does have some great country lanes.

Only did 25 miles but it was so inclement the recovery has felt like I've done a hundred.

Headache. Meh.

I repatriated my old rigid mtb from swmbo's clutches, gave it a quick fettle and took my 8 yr old for a bit of mud plugging around some local paths near the airport. A bit wet and cold and only a 6 mile loop, but nice to get the little one out and about rather than have him sit in front of the Playstation or TV all afternoon.

I grabbed an MTB from the free bike pool here and headed down to the beach. I rode for a mile along it, then came back again...then sat in a jacuzzi for 30 minutes

Bad times, went to the gym. Overdid it on the cross trainer and the treadmill. Managed 5km in 9 mins and passed out.. ooops

 

[G3CWI]

Ahh yes. I too overdid the exercise a couple of months ago. Spent all night on a trolley in A&E. won't be making that mistake again. Problem was skipping tea. I now carry emergency Mars Bar.

Wasted the morning It was pretty wet and miserable and all I did was pop to the shops. After a few hours of reading folks rides I though, I decided to head out, it was supposed to be drier in the Fens, it wasn't though, just windier On route I decided to stop under this bridge to get a bit of shelter, whilst I ate my cereal bar (Wiki's description under their pic is a bit ironic it wasn't standing on dry land today ) . After a few hours though success, I got the tail wind I had planned however, to blow me home I'm just wish I'd bought two packets of Cookies when I was at the shops this morning.

The nearest I got to "my ride today" was reading about "your ride today" It's been raining all day and for the last couple of hours it has been snowing. I did what anyone would do in these circumstances, I ate some flapjack.

As off the last 7 months until then I wasn't very local
