In memory of my brother who passed a year ago today! Today was a special ride to remember my big brother, taking in some of his favourite places to visit in Scotland! He was never really into cycling as hill walking was his passion, he climbed over 200 of the 282 munros (mountains over 3000ft)...

I can't even imagine how painful that would be if you were riding a bike in that, life threatening for sure! I've been hit many times but our hail is like pimples compared to that!

It was a beautiful morning but I had things to do so couldn't get out until 10.50am, with heavy rain forecast for 3pm I had to make sure I didn't go crazy and go too far! 😂 Once again we had a strong southerly wind with gusts around 30-35mph, luckily the gusts were only occasional and the wind...

A lot of those roads have very little traffic actually, we are very blessed in Scotland! Of course we have busy roads also but I try my best to avoid them... It stays pretty green here all year round, not surprising given the amount of rain we get! 😂

Lets get this awesome thread back on track and stop the bickering, there's enough crap going on in the world without us cyclists falling out with each other... After the summer like weather of last Tuesday we were back to reality with the temp 10C cooler, at least it was a nice day though! The...

I rarely ride into the wind at the start of my ride but with a 20mph easterly today and much warmer conditions it was a no brainer, I was really looking forward to making my way home with a 20mph tailwind for a change! The first 10 miles down to Allanton were all ups and downs and then it was...

After my big ride on Thursday I chose a much easier ride today and with signs of Spring arriving it was good to get out without 5 layers and heated gloves! The afternoon temp was 12C with a feels like temp of 8C, it felt so good but of course it was windy again! 😂 Not too bad though with a...

Thanks buddy, 45295 miles now and if all goes to plan I should ease past 50000 miles before year end, health and bike permitting! We don't have any really high hills but its very undulating to say the least and very twisty, I'm really blessed to live here and although our weather can be a bit...

Thanks Jeremy, it really has and I hope it remains a friend for a very long time! ;) The storm is hitting late Saturday into the early hours of Sunday, up north anyway!

Some pictures from my epic 115 mile ride yesterday that didn't make the cut in the Our Rides section! https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/2026-our-rides-in-words-photos-maps-and-videos.58838/page-34#post-709232

An epic ride on my epic bike to celebrate it turning 8 years old! My bike turned 8 years old on Tuesday and with a nice forecast today I decided to do a long ride to celebrate it! Its hard to believe its 8 years old already, I still remember my first ride like it was yesterday! I did question...

Our weather has been abysmal once again but I spotted an opportunity to get out today, it was very windy but at least it was dry when I set off just before midday! It was showing a 70% chance of rain around midday and not long after I left I could feel rain in the air, luckily the 35mph wind...

Back on my local roads today on a very cold but sunny morning, we had sleet and snow yesterday so the sun was very welcome! The forecast was showing rain arriving around midday, unsurprisingly it came earlier but at least it wasn't heavy! All the floods on my back roads had gone at last and...

Sorry to hear you have been unwell Dave, I'm glad you were well enough to get out on the bike! Feel better soon mate, best wishes! I was diagnosed with colitis but I only have 1 symptom so I'm not convinced about it...my doctor recommended Kefir and I have been using it in yoghurt form for a...

With the weather going downhill after today I decided I was sufficiently recovered from Thursdays epic ride to do another 100 miler, no battery anxiety this time thankfully! I set off just before 8am in overcast skies, they said it would improve as the day progressed and they got it right for...
