A crazy day of ups and downs and I'm not talking about the hills... I was fully intending to drive to Knockhill Racing Circuit for the motorcycle racing today but last night the forecast was looking a bit more promising with a day of frequent light showers, so why not just bike it instead? It...

After last Sundays big ride I took a bit of a break while our weather was too hot for the bike, instead I treated my sister to a sailing trip round beautiful Loch Katrine on the Sir Walter Scott steamship on Tuesday! The weather was just perfect and we had such a fantastic day, it was her...

Time for another big ride with perfect cycling conditions making it an easy decision, I decided to get out early (6.45am) while it was cooler! Its a couple of months since I visited Callander so that was my plan today, I just wasn't sure which way to go but eventually decided to make my way out...

It was a great handling car, 32 WRC wins and multiple domestic championship wins paint a picture of how good it was! As mentioned people just loved modding them also, they were a boy racers dream! ;) Back to cycling now... I had a rough route planned in my head only to be scuppered by a road...

It was one of the best rally cars ever and a great family car also, over 2 million were produced between 1968 and 1975!

The best Escort ever produced, sadly the car was having issues on Sunday but it looked amazing! I had one in the 80's and although it ran like a dream it was a rust bucket... 😂 Shame it didn't have a 2 litre Cosworth like the stunning white one! ;)

Our weather has been awful lately but I had a 3 hour weather window today and managed my quickest 50 miler ever on my e bike, the 30mph tailwind was fun on the way out to Linlithgow but tough on the way back! I had to outrun some rain at the start but having a strong tailwind sure helped, I was...

I started my day needing 61 miles to reach 3000 for the year so far but with the weather not looking great for the next few days, I decided to go for a long one! I was hoping to cycle to Knockhill Racing Circuit on Sunday but its showing rain most of the day so all the more reason to get a big...

It was a nice day yesterday but I was still feeling the effects of Thursdays big ride so I decided to wait another day, it was a great decision thankfully! Today was also nice but pretty chilly for May with a 20mph NE wind blowing, when the sun was out it felt warmish but when it wasn't it was...

Not the ride I had planned for today but what a ride it was with amazing roads from start to finish! I was planning to ride down to Galston in Ayrshire as it was showing the best weather forecast for today, pretty much everywhere else was showing rain most of the day! With a 25mph SW wind...

Another nice day for a ride, not even close to Stefan's 24C temp (thankfully😂), more like 12C which suits me nicely! Our easterly winds are finally gone and been replaced by westerlies, although it felt every bit as cold as the easterlies we have been experiencing lately! It was around 20mph and...

I just got my Ridewithgps recap for April, I doubt I will ever beat this one but never say never!

A gorgeous day for a bike ride and a record breaking 801 mile total for April! Back in March 2012 at the age of 54 I managed 752 miles on my Focus Cayo road bike, until today that record still stood! It was a great bike and my first ever carbon frame, the only issue was the rear gear cable...

Its a parking area Jeremy so a matter of feet only!

I had a really nice 53 mile ride on Sunday, I didn't take any photos on that ride so didn't bother writing a report but it was a lot of fun on my local roads! It was another nice day today, been a lot of those this month actually and I'm not complaining and as of today I have managed 725 miles...
