Your ride today....

[DCBassman]

from Holywell bay

Great place, and my spiritual home. Can't get out except uphill!

Is that the road from Crantock towards the Bowgie ? . Wind will need to be correct for that one , getting my excuses in early

At least the road, once you get into Crantock, is flat all the way to the Bowgie!

Great place, and my spiritual home. Can't get out except uphill!

Been for a number of years well aware of the climb out after a fortnight each year the hill gets a bit wearing but at least ever ride ride ends with a fast descent

Had a bit of an adventure today. Three of us set of at 7.30 this morning. Should have 6.30 but one of the guys had a gear cable break on his way to meet us. He had to ride from South london with 2 gears. Anyway i fitted a new cable and we where of. London to Oxford to Cambridge to London. An epic ride with rain wind and sunshine. Was the hardest ride i have done this year.

Lately I've been riding one day, doing a workout of pushups, crunches and planks the next and then taking a rest day following before going for another ride. I worked out yesterday and rode the day before but I felt good today so I hit the road today even though it was 88F outside. There was a breeze which was both good and bad. Good in that it didn't feel so hot but bad because I was pedaling into a strong headwind for a bit which slowed my pace. I did 20.89 miles with 1,368 ft. of elevation gain and my pace was a slow 11.3 mph. My tally for the week (Mon - Sun) was 62.6 miles and 4,120 ft. of elevation gain. Feeling good about things and now I just need to stop stress eating at night. If I can do that the weight should drop off easier.

Rides like that are enough to make 98% of us feel like a failure tbh

Not to shabby for a pensioner.

Rained all day long, but determined to get out so the MTB made another appearance.

Lots of fun getting wet and muddy for a couple of hours, and found some bridle ways new to me too.

Late for tea mind. Big trub!

Yesterdays ride and after all the good weather while I am at work it was cool and windy so waited until the afternoon when the forecast 40mph gusts should have gone before venturing out for a short ride. Set off to Whixall, Fenns Bank, Alkington, Hollinswood, Coton, Edstaston, Paddolgreen, Horton, Loppington , Wolverley and home. It was hard work into the wind which was still 21mph according to Garmin but I did knock another wind assisted second off an already wind assisted QOM of mine.23 miles @15.6mph. Got home to find we had no internet, it was a long night with a 16 year old girl with no internet connection!
Still cool and windy today and off in the other direction starting towards Loppington, Nonely,into the wind to Burlton, English Frankton, Colemere, Lee, Tetchill, past the front of Ellesmere College to Ellesmere which was quite busy with people shopping, past the edge of the Mere up to Coptinviney, Breadon Heath, Welshampton, Bettisfield, back into the wind to Northwood and back home.26miles @15.8mph. Didn't see many cyclists out either yesterday or today and only a couple of people walking maybe its not just me who doesn't like the wind.

Thanks for all the good wishes on my predicament. I've plucked up the courage to look at the extent of the incision now and it's much bigger than I thought it would be. It had to be a photograph of course because being where it is makes it impossible to see the extent of it. As you can see, the helmet strap would go right across that wound.

A cushioned plaster might be a solution.
