I was going for a 50 mile recovery ride today but couldn't help myself, at least I didn't go overboard... 😂 A chilly 4C at the start but a nice 13C at the end, a blustery 25mph ENE wind made it feel very cold into the wind! The best part about today was this, lovely new tarmac for the full...

Today's forecast was wall to wall sunshine, only the sun didn't get the memo! ;) Not that it bothered me as the weather was just perfect for cycling with a temp of 15C and light winds! Due to weather and family issues my bike has sat idle for a full week so it was such a relief to get the wheels...

A short recovery ride after Thursdays epic, my legs were still feeling it but thankfully I had a 30mph tailwind to start me off! It was pretty much a direct westerly so I made my way east to Dechmont where I turned north up Burnhouse Road, it was definitely a day for climbing it and not...

From Zero to Hero, what a day! I had a big ride planned for today, around 120 miles with a 32 mile drive to Powmill where I was going to park the car in a layby and cycle up to St Andrews and head back down the east coast! I had everything in the car yesterday except my batteries, with a temp...

I was hoping to get out yesterday as I have a big ride planned for Thursday but the weather had other ideas! So I decided to wait until today and after a bittterly cold morning with a hard frost things warmed up nicely in the afternoon, a pleasant 7C but with a chilly ENE wind around 15-20mph...

Insane but amazing, lets just hurtle down a cliff face with no front brakes! 🤣Those views were spectacular! 👌

I was going to do a ride last Tuesday when the weather was really nice but it was very windy, I then noticed today was looking perfect for a long ride! It was much colder than it has been recently but with light winds from the NW I just had to go for it, it was around zero degrees at 8.50am when...

I find the range is usually at least 10 miles (16km) out but that seems way off, 28km should only use a small percentage of your battery! At 94% health your battery should be giving you much more mileage than that, I'm not really sure why you are getting such poor mileage! I have a 2018 Giant...

A rare Sunday ride, I'm usually too busy these days or the weather is awful but today everything just clicked into place and I had one of those sensational rides that make you grin from ear to ear! 😁 Mist and fog lingered all morning but I had things to do anyway,the temp was around 10C but felt...

It was very hard going before the e bike came along! ;) Its probably why I'm still so fit of course! Enjoy your ride Stefan, I'm glad you are well enough to get out again!

A beautiful but very windy day, around 12C and a southerly wind around 30-35mph! I decided to head south and fight the wind to enjoy a tailwind on the way back, it was hard going at times and the crosswinds were insane sometimes! I stuck to the back roads as much as possible, making my way down...

We had signs of Spring for the first time today with very mild temps, of course the winds had returned also! Just 3 layers and thin gloves for a nice change, shame the weather forecast turned out to be a total joke though! It was showing sunny intervals throughout the day with a less than 5%...

I hope you catch a break with your weather soon Dave, looking at your last post its easy to see why you are stuck on 6 miles! Thank you Jeremy, just 14 rides so an average of 74 miles! When the nice days come along I like to make the most of them...

I needed 82 miles to reach 1000 for the year and today was a perfect cycling day so I set off with the intention of bagging another imperial century! It was a frosty start with light winds for a nice change, the temp was set to rise to 8C which is really mild for February! I decided I would head...

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

They changed the allowable size of the photos so you need to reduce the size of your images to upload them now, around 1.3mb I believe!

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? 😂
