I made the most of the perfect cycling weather today, it was a long old day but just spectacular from start to finish!👌 I set off at 6am to enjoy some quiet roads at the start and arrived home 11 hours later with a grin from ear to ear!😁I took the awesome back roads down to Cumbernauld and...

I hope your weather improves soon Flora! I just use my Samsung Galaxy S23, it takes some nice photos for a phone 👍

I think I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this was my best local ride ever, it was just utter perfection for the whole ride!😁 I had things to do in the morning so I didn't set off until 12.35pm, with the northerly wind still persisting it was a no brainer to head south again as heading...

Our weather took a turn for the better today and it was most welcome after the very wet and very windy spell, the wind was from the NNW and around 20mph when I set off just before midday, increasing through the afternoon to around 30mph! Thankfully not the crazy winds that @jabberwocky...

A blustery day greeted me this morning, the forecast was showing gusts around 25-35mph from the SW and easing throughout the day! So I drove to the park in Falkirk for a walk in the morning and it was really pleasant with mild temps for a change! Just after midday I set off on the bike with a...

I picked my bike up from my LBS on Saturday with a nice new kickstand in place, the mechanic had quite a battle to remove it but thankfully he did and after making new threads and leaving me £40 lighter I was over the moon to have a proper working kickstand again! Not a single rattle now so I'm...

I got a bonus ride today, the weather was supposed to be awful but they got it totally wrong and I sure wasn't complaining! ;) The easterly winds are still with us so I decided to head into the wind at the start to have the tailwind heading home, it was so cold riding into that easterly wind! So...

Yesterday my bike was 6 years old, 31146 miles later its still going strong and thankfully so am I... 😂 Another really nice Sunday and once again next week is looking dismal so I had to make the most of today, it was a frosty start at 7am but such a beautiful day! With an easterly wind blowing...

As Dave says I have 3 x 500wh batteries, the bike handles the extra weight so well so no issues carrying 3!

I have waited a while for decent Sunday weather and today it finally arrived, so I made the most of it as once again the weather is looking awful going into next week! I had a route planned out in my head involving a trip past Knockhill Racing Circuit but as I approached from Saline and Steelend...

All the best with your recovery, hopefully the weather will be kind to you when you return!

Lovely bike, I hope you have fun riding it around the Dales! 👍

After a whole week off the bike I was determined to get out today, the weather locally wasn't very nice so I looked further afield and noticed it was looking more promising down Peebles and Moffat way! So I put the bike in the car and headed towards Peebles to ride from there to Moffat and back...

Another epic ride on amazing roads for cycling, I actually forgot to top my batteries up last night and only remembered this morning! So with only 1 charger I managed to get one of the batteries up to 92% before it was time to depart, the other had 85% so I was confident it would be enough for a...

I can hurtle down mountains at 50mph with no fear but riding on ice is a whole different level of bravery...not for me! 😂 Awesome camerawork PD, I hope you can get out on the roads soon buddy!👍 👍

I planned a route last night to allow for the 20mph+ SE winds today, I wanted to do Kirknewton but didn't want to take the busy A71 on a week day! So I came up with a route that worked perfectly, only the wind didn't play ball though! I set off around 9.15am and headed east into the wind, using...

I wear padded shorts for every ride, for the longer ones (more than 50 miles) I also use Assos chamois cream which is expensive here in the UK but does an excellent job! I wear leggings on top of my shorts, upper body I go with Merino wool base layers to match the riding temps! So in the winter...

It was a frosty start to the day so I headed to a local park for a walk first and headed back home. I set off for the Forth bridges around 10.30am with the frost all gone now and the temp around 5C. The bitterly cold NE wind from Friday had switched to the SE and was around 15-20mph, nowhere...

A frosty morning greeted me today so I decided to wait until midday before setting off into a very chilly 25mph NE wind, the first 15 miles was directly into the wind out to Falkirk and I was glad to get there. I then turned west and took the back road down to Bonnybridge and the difference in...

Its 3 years old in June this year?😯 It seems like you just got it last year, 14000km isn't good! I thought my Giant was bad needing new bearings at 14000miles...
