I was hoping to do this ride yesterday and had my alarm set for an early start but I woke to wind and rain so I returned to my cosy bed and had a lazy day instead! The forecast was looking more promising today anyway and thankfully they got it right for once, although it said the winds would...

I caught a break in our crazy weather today, lots of floods around but thankfully they have subsided after yesterdays thunderstorms! Wet roads again but I was just glad to get out and enjoy some fresh air! I decided to head down to the Clyde Valley hoping the roads would be ok, which they were...

Yes very true, I get to ride all year round with only ocassional dangerous conditions and I'm always very thankful of that! I always look forward to your off road riding in the snow, its just spectacular! 👌

How to follow @Prairie Dog 's incredible posts? what a spectacular place to ride a bike, your photos were just jaw droppingly gorgeous PD! 👌 Anyway I got up for the toilet in the early hours and the rain was hammering down so i thought my chances of a ride today were slim at best, I had my...

What an effort that was, I'm not surprised you were totally washed out after that so hats off to you for an amazing job well done, including getting the parcel back to its rightful owner! 👍 I have always kept myself fit so longer rides aren't a problem for me, my body is well used to them! I...

Despite a gusty wind of around 30mph I decided it was time for another imperial century ride, it was a chilly start at 7am but it soon warmed up! My destination of choice was beautful Peebles as the forecast was looking really nice and thankfully they were right for once! ;) I used my usual back...

I might be lucky on the bike but lotteries are a different matter, maybe thats why they are called lotteries... 😂 My bike just loves speed, it was made for it and is super stable so I never feel out of control on it! It puts a smile on my face every ride!👍Still pouring here also and it won't...

The gusty winds were gone today although I had a 20mph SE wind to contend with, just a breeze compared to my last ride! Heavy rain was forecast around 1pm so I set off at 7am hoping to get a 70 miler in before the rain arrived! I decided to take the headwind on and had Kirknewton as my turning...

I thought it was her, maybe you could get her to sign up to the forums and her nick could be Notreadytoride... 😂 Maybe suggest she keeps her battery charged between 50-80% and she can ride anytime she likes! It looks like you are ready to ride then, great to hear!👍Excuse the pun ;) All the best...

I was in 2 minds about going out today, with gusty winds and a good chance of heavy rain it didn't look very inviting! I had a look outside and it looked nasty to the west and the south but more promising to the east and north so I decided to chance it and head north east to Bridgend and assess...

I was a bit sick over the weekend and really gutted to miss the motor racing at Knockhill, the weather was just perfect for cycling up to the circuit! I didn't even feel well enough to go in the car, I think it was due to the crazy hot weather we were experiencing at the start of September as it...

Great effort, Jeremy! 👍

Only one problem, its Canada! 😂 @Prairie Dog What a day on the bike PD, shame about those logging trucks though!

@DiggyGun I wasn't really that sensible though, riding in thick fog on a busy road is not recommended and I will try my damndest not to repeat it! Thankfully it was only short stretches though but still very scary....

I decided to get up early to beat the heat and head for the Forth bridges but I got more than I bargained for, 63 miles of fog and mist... 😂 At least it kept me nice and cool until the last 10 miles when the sun brought the heat with it! I didn't see any mention of fog or mist in the forecast...

Indeed Dave but at least its not stopping me riding the bike, you had a much bigger problem with your motor bolts! I will sort it soon I'm sure...

My new kickstand arrived today and I thought it would have been a 2 minute job but the old allen screws aren't for coming out! I managed to make a proper mess of them trying to get them out, I have given up for today as its way too hot at 77F....I think its going to be a drill out job but I will...

We are expecting 75F on Wednesday and Thursday this week which is way too hot for me and very unusual for September, I can't even imagine how unbearable 100F must be so you have my sympathy!

I was hoping to go to the motorcycle racing at Knockhill today but with winds over 30mph I decided to give it a miss, I could have gone in the car but I preferred to get the bike out as the winds weren't as gusty at home! I was hoping to head down the Clyde Valley on my last ride but the weather...

I follow a Youtuber who rides big miles on dusty trails and he uses a bar of soap to keep the belt quiet, he swears by it so it might be worth a try if it persists? I'm not sure what soap he uses but it looks like it might be quite a hard soap! It might be worth asking him through one of his...
