It has got to be done, triggers my OCD... 😂

You know me Dave, I like my hills... ;)

Yesterday we had another storm with winds around 60mph and torrential rain most of the day! Today was so much nicer but still very windy, around 30-35mph with gusts over 40mph at times! The wind was from the SW and the temp was a balmy 9C! With such a strong wind I had to choose my route very...

Thankfully my morning chores were over and done with just after 10am so that freed up a bit more time for my ride today, once again that chilly easterly wind was still hounding us and it was around 20-25mph today! I decided to head into the wind and brave the cold all the way to South...

I'm not falling for that one, sun in England? 😂

Me and my bike are getting on a bit, I will be 67 and the bike will be 7 next month so we need to take it easy... ;) Will we continue to take it easy though? not a chance!😂

Our weather this week isn't looking very inviting at all, except for Wednesday but I have things to do in the morning so it will be an afternoon ride only! Today we had snow flurries all morning, with the afternoon supposed to be improving so I was keeping an eye on things and hoping I would...

I hope you will get back to normal soon, Stefan! 🤞

Yes those easterlies are bitingly cold, I had 6 layers on and heated gloves... ;) The photgraphic evidence is there, the sheep are lit up by the sun...if you look closely you can see the shadow!😛

I managed a 66 mile ride on Tuesday in bitterly cold and overcast conditions, once again we had a very cold 30mph easterly wind blowing which I took advantage of on the way home! Today I had planned a ride of around 75 miles down to Muirkirk in East Ayrshire, my attempt to ride there last week...

I've had a bit of a head cold the past couple of days but I was feeling fine and with a really nice forecast today I just had to get out, I had a rough route planned in my head which would take me into Ayrshire for the first time this year! Light winds from the SE but a chilly 3C when I set off...

A very mild but very wild day, 10C and gusty winds around 40mph from the south! Very different from windless Friday...I wasn't sure about venturing out today but very glad I chanced it, the forecast was showing a 50% chance of rain but with the mild temp I just went for it and my luck was in as...

Yes I'm in the central lowlands but a very hilly part of them!

During my last ride I had the issue with the bolt on my rear rack and mudguard and the bike didn't feel right during the ride which I put down the missing bolt, I decided to give it a thorough checkover and discovered my rear wheel bearings were totally shot! They are only about 14 months old...

The forecast wasn't looking the best today but as the day progressed it looked much more promising and just before midday I set off with the some blue skies making a welcome appearance! The wind was from the NW and about 15-20mph and a temp of 5C, pretty nice for late January! I had a route...

I managed to get another ride done last Wednesday but had no internet to post about it, it wasn't the nicest day but I decided to set off into freezing fog and hope it would clear up! Luckily the fog lifted after only 8 miles but soon after the mist rolled in and it was bitterly cold! For a...

I think I got off lightly, one roof tile is embedded in my garden but I won't know the extent of the damage until first light tomorrow! Winds are still around 60mph which seems like a light breeze after the 90mph gusts... 😂

I've had major internet problems recently, today its the least of my problems with 90mph gusts battering us...

6 days ago I had zero miles for 2025, 3 rides in and I'm now on 236 miles! Quite a turnaround after a dismal start to the year, thanks to the milder weather! I set off at midday today under leaden skies and fully expected to get wet, temp was around 7C and for once we had light winds! My plan...
