    I had a choice to go out today and risk getting wet or wait until tomorrow and risk my life with 40mph+ winds, I chose today and I did get wet! 😂 After the freezing temps recently it was all change yesterday with a high of 16C but it was very wet and very windy so cycling was the last thing on...

    I know I said in my last post I would do a short ride but it was just too perfect so I kept going, I thought after 11 days off the bike I would struggle but I felt really strong! Of course my bike makes long rides a breeze, it just makes you want to keep riding and riding so I did! :D Early this...

    I had a route planned for yesterday that would have been close to 125 miles, my plan was to drive to Kincardine and cycle inland to St Andrews and then head down the east coast back to Kincardine! Unfortunately the weather had other ideas with mist and fog pretty much all the way to Kincardine...

    I had a ride of around 50 miles planned in my head but due to weather avoidance I ended up close to 60! I have a big ride planned for Thursday so I really wanted to get a ride in before then, the following Thursday I have a colonoscopy to look forward to so riding will be limited next week! No...

    The weather finally played ball today, it was very blustery but a beautiful day! The wind was bitingly cold from the NW and gusting around 30mph, I decided to head SE and enjoy the wind for a while! I took the back roads as much as I could out to Auchengray, one of our few long straights around...

    I was worried about mist and fog preventing my ride to Knockhill Racing Circuit yesterday for the 50th anniversary bike festival meeting, I really didn't want to take the car! The circuit opened in 1974, I first attended in 1979 and have been every year since! Luckily it was just misty with no...

    The weather has been great all week but I took a couple of days off to recover from Monday's epic! I have been waiting for the right conditions to do one of my favourite rides and today was looking just right so my plan was to put the bike in the car and drive down to Peebles to cycle out to...

    We finally have a week of decent weather so I made the most of it today, light winds but a little chilly at first when I set off at 7am! I had a ride planned in my head which involved a trip down to Ayrshire as I haven't been down that way for quite a while! I headed out to the Clyde Valley but...

    The stormy weather finally passed through and today was looking much better, although there was a chilly NW wind blowing and it was only 5C when I departed at 8am! With lots of climbing ahead I wasn't going to feel the cold though, I decided to head out to Lennoxtown and head over the Campsie...

    Is the perfect bike ride a reality? today it happened for me so I would say yes it is! My day started off with a low, I was intending to go to Knockhill for the car racing but the weather had other ideas and left a blanket of dense fog at home and up at Knockhill! I decided I would go in the...

    Yes I do, any opportunity for a big ride is taken with gusto and today was the case in point! ;) I noticed I hadn't ridden out to the beautiful Trossachs since June so with a decent forecast today I put that right! The wind was from the NE and around 20mph which is unusual for around here...

    Is your weather good every day? it certainly seems to be and I'm just a little jealous despite it being lovely here today...;) Its supposed to be nice tomorrow also so I will almost certainly be out on the bike tomorrow after missing out today!

    I was looking forward to cycling to Knockhill Racing Circuit tomorrow for the motorcycle racing but on checking the latest forecast on Friday night it wasn't looking as promising as it was previously, it was showing a gusty 30mph easterly wind with a 30% chance of rain in the afternoon so I...

    Sometimes you just get lucky and today was the case in point, I suppose I was due it after my hard drive failed on my pc last week! It was pouring down in the morning and it cleared up just a little so I chanced a walk at a local park and made it round without getting a soaking! The wind wasn't...
