It was a nicer day today so I set off for another 50 miler, the wind had moved to the NW today and was around 20mph again! I decided to head for Linlithgow and took one of my back roads to Greengairs only to find the road closed with no signs saying so...:rolleyes: There were 2 burly guys...

More days of monsoon weather and strong winds have kept me off the bike but I spotted a weather window today and even though there was light rain falling when I set off it wasn't going to stop me! There was quite a strong easterly breeze so I was hopeful it would blow the rain through quickly...

Stunning footage on both the bikes and the kayaks, those shoulders were so rough but the views were just out of this world!👌

Last night I came up with a route which would mean putting the bike in the car and driving to Kincardine around 20 miles away and taking the inland route to St Andrews and then heading down the coast road on the way back before cutting inland past Knockhill! It would have been around 110 miles...

Nah, they are pretty average... My mouth was wide open looking at them all, truly spectacular! 😍

Apologies, I will do better! 🤣

I was hoping to ride over the Campsie Hills today but luckily I decided to check for roadworks with the Cycling World Championships coming in early August and discovered the road is closed for 10 days for resurfacing works! I can't wait to ride it after the championships are over and it won't be...

2 rides in the same week, been a while since the weather has allowed that! ;) My legs were still feeling Tuesdays ride but with a nice forecast and the weekend looking awful I had to get out, I decided I would do the Forth Road Bridge crossing in the clockwise direction this time! I left at 6am...

I always carry a spare battery on my Giant Road E+1 Pro road bike, I seldom do less than 50 miles and live in a very hilly area! If I'm doing over 100 miles I carry 2 spare batteries to be on the safe side!

I caught a break in our awful weather today and with rain forecast early afternoon I grabbed a quick 50 miler before it was due to hit, I would have been out earlier but had things to do that couldn't wait so I didn't get out until 9.45am! Once I was out I wasn't actually bothered about getting...

Once again our weather has been crazy, very wet and very windy so I couldn't get a shorter recovery ride done yet again! I was actually thinking of doing todays ride last Sunday but changed my mind as its a very popular cyclist and biker route and it would have been too busy to really enjoy it...

We drive and ride on the left but I usually take my photos on the right to face the traffic for safety reasons!

Our weather has been so changeable lately, I was hoping to get out early this morning but the rain had other ideas so I had to wait a while and eventually the skies looked much more promising! There was a possibilty of thunderstorms in the afternoon, around 2pm so I planned a route to get me...

Says the guy that's done over 1000km more than me... 😂 @PatriciaK I hope your strength will come back soon, Covid is tough to recover from!

Our Carstairs is a blink and you'll miss it village... 😂

Back on my local roads today after a few days of crazy weather, quite a few floods around but I picked my route wisely to avoid them! I set off at 5.45am to avoid the morning traffic once again, even at that time some of the roads were fairly busy but I didn't have any problems! It was a very...

You can say that again, that was some real rugged terrain! I was a little disappointed you didn't bunny hop the fallen tree... ;) It was sure worth the effort for those incredible vistas!👌I was exhausted watching that!😂 Amazing effort Art!👍

Another Thursday, yet another big ride! After last weeks epic ride I was hoping to get out for a shorter recovery ride during the week but the weather hasn't been playing ball so with a decent forecast today I decided to do another long one! I set off at 5am to avoid the morning traffic, the...

Your rides are far from lame, every ride matters and I know its cliché but as long as you enjoy getting out on the bike thats all that matters at the end of the day! Yes I'm lucky to live somewhere that has a great cycling climate and great roads to enjoy and it makes me happy to share that with...
