Your ride today....

[Dave 123]

got back from shopping ..and thought get cycling kit on and go went o noe of my fav local runs (2 café`s on route) GT stainton to bishopton and on to redmarshal down to Wynyard woodland park ..just past Thorpe Thewles ..had tea and cake at the station café ...then headed along the old railway line to the A689 to pick up the NCN1 route to Sedgefield ..(my 2 café stop)...but it was chocker so kept on as I had spare food in barbag

just leaving Sedgefield there was a cricket match in progress so stopped had had a snack while watching the gentle art of leather on willow (not that exciting) ... back past the racecourse and back to GT stainton and the reverse of my route.... but then detoured to Aycliffe village via a bridleway which I found had been trimmed back either side up over the M1 through the village on to the industrial estate where I was still feeling fine (legs not complaining).. so altered route again and joined the great aycllffe walk as this brings me back almost traffic free... just need to watch out for the dog walkers. .. I stopped in one of the wooded section as all I could hear was birds lots of them all singing there little heads off ..(just made you want to stop and listen).....a slow ride but on I really enjoyed and got in 34 miles https://connect.garmin.com/activity/784761148

15 miles today which brings my total to 2015 to.........15 miles! A nasty cold combined with the cold wind that has been blowing across the country for far too long resulted in a split nostril which finally seemes to have healed just as the wind turns warmer. Pleasently surprised to find a number of pot holes had been attendened to, unfortunately in the do it as cheap as possible attitiude that inflicts N Yorks County County they have been replaced by mounds of tramac above the road surface which are probably as dangerous if hit at any significant speed.

Start work 16 miles away in July so thought I would try out the commute (I walk to work at the minute). Very slow (but hey ho, that's how I roll) enjoyed it but think it might be quite different once I do it with traffic on the road (seems there arnt many cars about 7am on a Bank Holiday)

Just 32 miles this evening, but in a record time for me of 1 hour 43 minutes; that's 18.6mph and 13 minutes faster than my previous ride of the same route.

Seems like you crossed paths with a few strava'ers on that!

Vicious-looking climb at the end of that road!

 

[Gravity Aided]

I'll have you know that over this course, according to Strava, I do an extraordinary 47 feet of climbing! Hence the view from these Olympian heights. Actually, though, I'm not too terribly far from some nice hills. The nice thing about where I live is that, although it is along a creek (Six-Mile Creek), I have to go over a ridge in any direction to get there.

A somewhat roundabout route today, taking in a lot of minor roads that I've never been on before, while my wife was having physio (kinésitherapie for the French speakers )

Usual route to St Martin / St Brice, then a few km along the old St Junien to Limoges road (now bypassed)

Traffic was hell

Here's one place I wouldn't fancy living (the word has the same meaning in English)

I ended up in Oradour-sur-Glane, so took another small road to Javerdat

Church at Javerdat

Another small road and half an hour later saw me back in Oradour. There was no sun to follow and I'd gone round in a big circle

So, out of Oradour on the road to St Junien, with a little detour through the hamlet of le Breuil, where I found this gem of architecture

I quite like the design, but wouldn't want to be the one painting it every few years

Back home via st Brice / St Martin 60km in just under 3 hours.

It was only Otley,it was only 20 miles,i did a shorter route.It was top and shorts weather.But it was the cycling,which after weeks of struggling,that was wonderful,i was actually excited about going out.So two lattes and a bacon sarnie in the sunshine,i am happy.

15miles (should have been 14 but I took a wrong turn ), had to stop once for cramp in my calf, but otherwise. I'm happy with that distance and time, on the way to doing 26miles in 2 hours

Vicious-looking climb at the end of that road!

I was just thinking i should move there

 

[Spartak]

Tonight I rode my clubs Evening 10 TT & as I warm up I rode our monthly Strava Segment Challenge - Dodington Climb.

I managed a respectable 5:30 on the climb - but still way down on the leaders time !

TT wasn't so good with a time of 27:22 on the sporting UC108 course
