I have been waiting for the right conditions to cycle to St Andrews again, I was doing it in my dads memory as he passed away just over a year ago and it was his favourite place to visit in Scotland! It was his happy place and he visited every year until a couple of years ago when he was no...

Agree with this, you need to be very careful with concussion! Make sure you replace that helmet, Stefan! @Stefan Mikes

Huge congratulations, Stefan! 👍 That was an incredible effort, I'm glad you weren't hurt badly in the crash! No cycling for me today, I was at the British Superbikes race meeting at Knockhill with a big crowd present so it wasn't a day to be cycling!

Good luck, Stefan! 160 miles is hard enough on tarmac, gravel is a whole different story so hats off to you! 👍

As long as you enjoy it, thats all that counts!

Back in August 2021 I did this ride and the mist came down, no mist this time thankfully! I put the bike in the car and drove to beautiful Loch Lubnaig, arriving at 6am to avoid the searing heat we are experiencing at the moment! There was quite a chill in the air at 6am but that didn't last...

It was time for a recovery ride after Thursdays beast, 53 miles felt like a trip round the block in comparison! I set off at 7am when it was a lovely 15C (59F), its now 27C (84F) and we Scots can't take heat!🤣 I picked a route to avoid the Monday traffic and it worked out perfectly, I was never...

I will give you that one, call it a tie? ;) What a brilliant video that was, can't blame you for stopping to take it in that view! What a backdrop! 😍 I loved the part where you looked at the 2 possible river crossings, massive plank with a big step up or little plank which was wet and looked a...

You think its scenic here? That is just out of this world jaw droppingly gorgeous! 😍

Not surprisingly I nodded off after dinner last night! 😂 @Jeremy McCreary Thank you for your very kind words, I'm glad I inspire you. :) @Twin Valley Your neck of the woods looks pretty awesome also! @Stefan Mikes I was a biker until recently because I decided to sell it last month, this is...

My best ever cycle ride, not scenery wise but just road riding at its aboslute best! Last night I was thinking about where to ride today and thought about a 50 miler as I was intending to do a big ride this coming Sunday, but on checkling the Sunday forecast it didn't fill me with confidence as...

An almost identical ride to last Sunday, this time it was car racing at Knockhill Racing Circuit! Conditions were also identical so I didn't bother taking any photos on the ride, I will add more from my Arran trip though and some from the track! My trip home was my fastest ever from the circuit...

Yes it comes under North Ayrshire, wish it was on my doostep but I can't complain as its only a 100 mile round trip to get to the ferry!

I felt like a change of scenery so I booked the ferry to the Isle of Arran as I noticed the weather was going to be perfect, as soon as I embarked at Brodick I was in cycling heaven! 😁 With a view like this leaving the ferry you just know its going to be an awesome day and it was! Last...

My luck was in today for my cycle trip to the motorcycle racing at Knockhill Racing Circuit, yesterday the wind was blowing like crazy at times but today was almost calm in comparison! The weather was just fantastic, even though the wind was from the north it didn't feel that cold except when...

Indeed, thats all that matters and they do! Your friend got a beautiful day for it, Dalmally is stunning!

I decided to check my batteries today and got very strange results, I'm not convinced they are right but hey ho.... Battery 1 - 61 months old : Health = 90% with 310 cycles Battery 2 - 31 months old : Health = 92% with 105 cycles Battery 3 - 10 months old : Health = 93% with 17 cycles @Prairie...

That's an incredible effort, especially given the elevation gain! Jacek is amazing👍 I have never managed to break 6 hours for 100 miles, I came close one day when it took me 6 hrs 1 minute! 😂 My longest single battery (500wh) ride was this one if Jacek wants a challenge...;) Knowing him he will...

I haven't checked them for a while, I will have a look on my next ride but my original battery is still going strong at over 5 years old! My second battery was bought in October 2020 and my third battery is only 10 months old so they are in very good health!

I was feeling good today and the weather was perfect so I just had to get out for a recovery ride, I was going to wait until Sunday but it was just too good an opportunity to pass up! The forecast was actually wall to wall sunshine all day but it was overcast until late in my ride, I sure wasn't...
