I was itching to get out again after a full week off the bike due to weather, once again it wasn't looking promising today but I noticed the NE of the country was looking much better so I stuck the bike in the car and headed east to Kinross where I parked the car and set off for St Andrews at...

I had a bit of a rough day yesterday and didn't make it to the big car race meeting of the year at Knockhill, thankfully it was live on tv so I got to watch from the comfort of my armchair! Its not the same as being there though but the weather was truly awful all morning so that helped a little...

Cheers Dave, thanks for the confirmation!

With a 30mph westerly wind blowing it was the perfect day to head east and cross the Forth bridge, almost 30 miles of lovely tailwind! Of course I would be battling a very strong headwind on the way back but I would be using the well protected coast road with lots of shelter from the wind! I...

Road cycling at its glorious best in perfect riding conditions and 48000 miles surpassed! My legs were still a bit tired after Fridays tough ride but with perfect weather and rain arriving tomorrow for most of the week I just had to get out for a big ride! Once again I set off around 7am, the...

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...
