Our amazing weather is set to come to an end at the weekend so I wanted to get a big ride done before the much needed rain returns! It was a chilly start at 7.30am, the forecast said the wind would be from the NE and around 15mph at first and increasing in strength as the day progressed! Right...

Back to the racing at Knockhill today, it was their 50th anniversary car race meeting and once again the weather was amazing!

It had been almost 2 years since I visited the Isle of Arran on the west coast of Scotland, last year the ferries were a shambles so I decided not to chance it! At the start of this year the long awaited new ferry (Glen Sannox) finally took to the water, 7 years later than planned and I have to...

Yet another glorious day so I just had to make the most of it and enjoy it while it continues! I set off at 7.15am and it was a little chilly so the long finger gloves kept my hands warm, the temp was set to increase to 19C as the day progressed! There was very little wind at this early hour but...

Back in the saddle after a 5 day break, my last ride really wiped me out with that 30mph headwind for almost 60 miles! Once again it was windy but only around 20mph this time, it was a glorious day though with a perfect temp around 16C! I made my way NE over the back roads to Falkirk, stopping...

We call it rapeseed here, I'm not a fan of the smell but it sure looks pretty! Thank you for your kind words, Charles! They are definitely aware of your presence but it's more fear than curiosity I think, Jeremy! The lambs usually run to mom so... 😂

On Monday I went out on a warm up ride for today, I ended up doing almost 67 miles and 4600ft of climbing when I was supposed to be doing an easy 50 miler... 😂 The result was I had tired legs today but I had a lovely tailwind for the first 55 miles which helped immensely! I decided to head up...

It dates back to cattle rustling days! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Beef_Tub My Road E has sure served me well, just over 7 years and 38,323 miles and it still rides like new! 👍

I have been waiting for the right conditions to drive down to Peebles to cycle from there to Moffat and back, today was ideal so I got up early and made my down to Peebles in the car! Well I stopped in a layby about 6 miles away to avoid the busy town, its much easier to negotiate it on the...

On April 16th 2025 my older brother passed away after a 4 year fight with pancreatic cancer at the age of 70, it was a blessing as the cancer really made his life hell the past few months! :( I have no doubt his fitness and strong will played a big part in surviving this awful disease for so...

When I woke this morning it was wet outside and the forecast wasn't looking very inviting so I jumped in the car and headed to Callander Park in Falkirk for a walk in the woods, cycling wasn't on my mind at all at this point! On my way home things brightened up a bit and I decided to chance it...

A rare Saturday ride yesterday to Knockhill Rcaing Circuit for the first motorcycle race meeting of the season, the weather was perfect so it was a no brainer to switch from my usual Sunday visit with 30+ mph winds forecast for today! I made my way out to the Clackmannanshire Bridge over the...

After a couple of days rest I was ready to get back out today for a recovery ride after Monday's epic! It was another beautiful but blustery day, the winds were mainly from the SW but swirling about a bit and around 25mph! So I headed NE and had a nice tailwind to break my legs in, making my way...

I tried to do this ride back in March but stupidly left my batteries behind, so with perfect weather today it was time to put things right! My plan was to ride inland to St Andrews and then take the coast road all the way to Burntisland and back inland to Knockhill Racing Circuit which was only...
