Not quite there yet Dave but thanks buddy!

After 8 days off the bike due to weather I was itching to get back out, I was tempted yesterday but the winds were insane at times with huge gusts so with a 25mph SW wind today I just had to get out! I had a 4 hour weather window as I set off just after 7am, at that time it was looking very nice...

Some photos from my recent epic ride that didn't make the final cut in the other thread!

Probably not far off... Cheers Dave! Probably around 20 miles but it was worth it for the ride round Loch Katrine! Always 3 batteries for long rides like that and I didn't have a lot left at the end of the ride, although I did have fun in level 3 assist up the steep parts when I could have...

One of my best ever bike rides plus 100 miler number 4 for July, what a month! I set off just before 6am this morning with a ride out to Aberfoyle and over the Dukes Pass in my planned route, on reaching Aberfoyle I had a change of plan and what a decision that was! I made my way north down the...

How do you get back down? helicopter coming? 🤣 Well done buddy!👍

I had a nice rest over the weekend, after Friday's epic it was very much needed as that really wiped me out! Back on my amazing local roads today for a very nice recovery ride, with a lovely 15mph westerly wind conditions were perfect despite the 23C (73F) heat! The secret is to keep moving as...

After a rubbish June I'm making up for lost time in July with 490 miles from 5 rides already, an average of 98 miles! :eek: My June total was 482 miles so I have already surpassed that with 2 weeks remaining in July! A 6am start today with light winds from the ENE so I decided to head SW for...

I had to cancel yesterday's bike ride to Knockhill and take the car instead, all thanks to the very annoying mist and fog again! I made up for it today though with a stunning ride out to Killearn and back, the winds have shifted to easterlies now which is making things so much cooler which is...

I wonder if the forum software has gone haywire, it seems to be stuck on page 68... Tomorrow I'm finally heading to Knockhill Racing Circuit on the bike, a few weeks ago I got drenched on the way up and had to abort my plans but tomorrow is looking way more promising so I'm looking forward to...

With light winds in the morning I just had to get out for a big ride, out the door at 5.15am and I get 2 hours of mist and fog to start the day... 🤣 Destination Peebles today so I made my way down to Dunsyre and headed east for Dolphinton, I chose this route because the road to Dolphinton had...

I finally caught a break with the weather and got the chance to check my bike out after the shifter repair, I was enjoying the flawless gear changes that much I just kept going and going... 😂 I had a rough 60 miler planned in my head but that was blown out of the water! As always it was pretty...

Yes I'm not normal... 😂 When I went to see the guy I was expecting him to say bring it up in a week or so, instead he said just leave your bike here and I'll give you a lift home and start it right away...I was completely stunned! At that point I noticed I was at 99.4 miles so I had a quick tour...

First ever 100 miler completed using just 1 gear! I was planning to get out yesterday but with gusts nudging 45mph it was a no go, today it was still very windy but safe enough for a ride! Last night I planned a ride down to Peebles but on checking the weather forecast this morning I quickly...

My bike parts arrived today and I'm happy to report the shifter is in perfect working order, I just have to wait 3 weeks to get it fitted now... Its very windy today so no cycling but I'm hoping to get out tomorrow for a big ride!
