I went out into headwinds this morning; a ride up Holme Moss, then along Woodhead Pass and to Windmill Nurseries, before coming back via Emley mast - 59 miles covered: http://www.strava.com/activities/118658581

Sixty seven miles from Aldborough St John to Ripon and back on the Ripon Canter Audax. The outward leg had a head wind all of the way out. @mcshroom was just arriving to sign in as I'd set off and I was disconcerted to arrive at the half way control point with no sign of him. He rooled up a few minutes later have indulged in some sight seeing on the way. I too had stop off at Leeming to have a quick peek at the preserved railway where I saw a prototype rail bus - literally a bus body on a railway undercarriage.
Village pump at Brompton on Swale
Prototype Leyland Railbus
Sean Gregory Snr of YACF also arrived after me and the pair of us decided to return along the outward leg as we reckon it would be less hilly than the official outward leg. How right we were we had time to stop off and have a MacDonalds and still get back to base ten or so minutes before mcshroom and much earlier than I did when I did the ride last year.
A grand day out.

Nice social ride out today. Went down the Hams and at last the lane at Ashleworth has reappeared from underwater. First ride on that tarmac since before Christmas. The flooding has hung around for longer than I've ever known. Indeed water was still lapping at the roadside and the ditches were full. We stopped off at the Trioscape cafe before taking advantage of the tail wind on the ride back. Nice 45 miles and some good craic

A cracking afternoon ride with @toptom . After only 4 hours sleep, I was up and dressed and out the door. It was warm, warmer than I realised and the clothing I was wearing was probably too warm for the conditions. We rode a well known route with a few hills and great views of the countryside. A stop at the bike shop to look at stuff and then a stop at a little cyclist cafe in Tring for coffee and a slice of rocky road and we was heading home via Ivinghoe beacon. 51 miles and I hit a new top speed of 44.8 mph.

At last, I finally got myself out for a short ride. Not been out since October (!!!); so it had to be a short one, did 20 miles, took just under 2 hours, & I'm glad to say, I'm not knackered. Rode out up gentle hills for the first 10 miles before turning for home.

Send the sunshine et al up here please.
21 mile in a drizzly dreich breezy run around the local Renfrewshire area, had to check a geocache was still in place then got peed with it all
and jumped on 75 and headed home.
As usual, I'm sitting at home delighted (now) I'd headed out

Here for rides.
After yesterday's "What was I thinking?" ride I woke up stiff and sore and in need of a recovery ride. I run an informal club and it so happens we have a noob along so the perfect excuse to send the faster boys off whilst I did hen and chickens with the new guy. 30km of gentle spinning* in two hours on a beautiful sunny morning.
*the noob may not have thought so.
