I did. The route was planned using Komoot which indicated the field that I was traversing as being a cycle route. OK, you could argue that a Public Right of Way is also a cycle path although being relatively flat, other than the fallen tree of course, I wasn't too bothered.

Sunny, bright blue skies and 13°C (55.4°F) yesterday afternoon so cycle kit on and hit the road. Discovered on the ride that Komoot was being a little too adventurous when looking to my left and through the bushes I noticed that the cycle path was some 100m to the left of me whilst I was riding...

Looks like a nice comfy chair. I'd be tempted to stay put. ???

Indeed it is and as a result, a tourist magnet. There is a large payable carpark on the edge of Locronan which is in effect a charge to enter the village which is closed to traffic bar residents and deliveries...

Somewhat further North from the island of Ile de Re but still on the Atlantic Coast is the French region of Brittany the destination for our main 2018 holiday. Once again the wife and I rented non battery-powered bikes which, after a couple of weeks of use, became rather telling on the old leg...

Interesting isn't it. I can only imagine that with the growth in e-bike sales and the resultant drop in price of normal bikes that tea-leafs (thieves) don't think it's worth the effort to steal them anymore.

Yes JayVee although now retired and living as far away from the sea as one can get. LOL.

Me and the wife also :-)

Following a spell of some bright and sunny weather in February things have now taken a turn for the worse here in the southern half of Germany with several storms following one after the other. Unlike RabH, I'm a fair weather rider so anything approaching cold, wet and windy you'll find my...

Agree about the Elemnt Bolt. Use mine more to record a ridden route as opposed to following one where I find it a bit small to read.

This very unusual February weather continues with temperatures last Sunday, and today Wednesday, above the 15°C (59°F) mark and so 'she who must be obeyed' and I went for a ride. If the forecast is correct today shall see the back of bright blue skies and warm temperatures being replaced by much...

The shops are in remote areas in your neck of the woods. ?

Well it appears as though the winter in our region is a thing of the past with bright blue skies and temperatures in the range of 17°C to 20°C (62°F to 68°F) although I suspect there will be a sting in the tail somewhere down the line. Usually we're still getting snowfall in the middle of...

Interesting way of carrying bikes there PDoz. Mind sharing more info please?

100 miles ?. When do you start - 3am? ?

No Steve, it's an Aussie piece of art/sculpture :)

From the EXIF data embedded within the above image I see that you are using an iPhone 6, David, would that be correct? If so, it produces some pretty impressive images I must say. Not had a ride for a few weeks now as a result of other things either getting in the way or the weather being...

Can I add to that, David? Way back in 1966, whilst serving in the Royal Navy, the ship I was then serving on was lucky enough to spend a few days in Hobart, Australia during a break in exercises with various naval forces. Being essentially the youngest Radio Operator on board both in terms of...

Couldn't resist it. Weather forecast was for a few hours of sunshine and so riding gear on and off I went. Whilst I had planned a final tour of the season for just this eventuality, things didn't quite go according to plan and on completion I ended up naming the tour 'The most times lost and...

It's for placing a kids safety seat into too I guess, Steve.
