Today we did the Phoenix Trail. This is an old railway line between Thame in Oxfordshire and Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire. Along the route, there are a number of modern art sculptures to represent the old railway heritage. However, at the county border there is a collection called...

Ordered a pair of bibbed tights to try. First time of ordering this style of clothing. Went for the a Danish Endurance ones as currently use their leggings and know that their clothing fits me. The leggings have been good and comfortable. However, the elastic waistband is beginning to roll...

Nice ride out today, around Stanwick Lakes, one of our favourite places. Weather was fine for most of day, with a couple of occasions of light showers. However, on the way home it absolutely threw it down. DG…

Another nice day today. But only a short ride today. DG…

Similar in the UK. We use a loud bell, which does cause some people to jump out of their skin. But they stop or move and let us pass, we then thank them and wish them a good walk and the usually reply in the positive. However, the problem ones are those with their face in the phone wearing ear...

Yes, growing like billyo, with a little warmth and the moisture. DG…

Still raining. DG…

The only additional items to the original bike are the phone holder, lights and radar. I really like the radar. It picks up moving objects far earlier than you can see them in a mirror. You can’t have too many lights in the UK. One to see with and one (flashing) to be seen with. DG…

Don’t have a great need for Bear Spray in the UK. Young ladies with face glued to phone screen walking out into the road spray, yes, bear spray, no. DG…

Most of our holidays involve bike riding. One we know where we’re going, book either a cottage or hotel, I start planning potential routes. Do the research on the web for off-road cycle trails and go on from there. Usually find more than we need. Most have some route map or directions, so...

Fortunately, Mrs DG was right behind and saw it happen, so stopped immediately to pick it up. Probably only gone about a yard or two. Put it back on and continued the ride. DG…
