Your ride today.... (part 1)

[ColinJ]

Why Colin?
You seem like a nice man but hills? Ye gods

That's what a 3rd chainring is for!

If I remember, I will take at least one photo from each summit on my hilly 31 miler and I will annotate the ride profile to show where they were taken.

51 miles today, wind seems to have died down a fair bit, but still not enough!

That will be 31 photos then up there and we will be counting.

Enjoyable ride with the tweed group today. Felt a bit out of place being the only one not dressed up but at least I wasn't the only one on an older bike!

At least you were out, thats what counts, not what you were wearing

I have been out for 1 hour and 3 whole minutes. I rode on local roads, close to my flat as I cannot find my pump anywhere and I didn't want to have to push far should the worst happen.
13.69 miles averaging 13mph. It was dusk when I went out at 6.23 and pitch when I got back at 7.26

My trip computer appears to have died and I didn't have much battery on my phone for MMR so I just looked at my watch.
Its really quiet out there tonight.

One little incident though. A bat flew in to the side of my helmet and fell to the road. I picked him up and put him in the hedge. He was alive but I think that he had stunned himself a bit.

Pootle out and about today with Mrs Aud, who decided its winter and was leaving the road bike at home and riding the hybrid.

She now says the hybrid is slow.....

Short 17 miles along the cycle way and around Ashill (Windmill hill) and back along quite counrty lanes,

Being watched.

Mud on road as the tractors are out round these parts ploughing.

Blue sky and warm as well.

Took part in the Severn RC Hill Climb today .......... however I didn't finish

After starting too quickly on the steep 1:6 hill, found I was struggling for breathe at the half way point, so took the decision to stop, my first ever DNF in an event.
My Hill Climbing career has now been terminated

30 miles with the girls all three of them are coming along well, a couple of them moaning about the hills, but if i don't take them up the hills they will avoid them so pushed them quite hard today, all three are riding in the morning so all is good. i think i will back with the lads next Saturday i need a proper workout.

Ride out with my daughter and some pals this morning. 46 miles in good weather, countryside and company with beans-on-toast at half time. What's not to like?

Is that an end to racing or will you take up a different discipline?

No, just hill climbs !!!
Will continue Time Trialling, which although I'm not the quickest I really enjoy

That's good. I hope you continue to enjoy it.

Sadly, only 3.5 miles today

I had lots of other stuff to get sorted so all I could fit in was a quickie down to the library and back on the SS.
