    My bike made it past 36000 miles and my yearly mileage surpassed 6500 miles today! I have been waiting for 10 days to get back out on the bike to make it to 36000 miles overall and reach 6500 miles for the year on the same ride, the weather at home was truly awful but I saw an opportunity to...

    A rare Saturday ride, with 50mph gusts coming tomorrow and Monday I just had to get out today while it was rideable! The weather during the week was truly awful with 3 days of freezing fog! This morning there was black ice everywhere but by midday the temp had reached 5C so I deemed it safe and...

    Another nice day for a bike ride, only 4C with a chilly but light northerly wind! Yet another big climbing day which is the best way to keep warm at this time of year, I waited until 11.45am to head out as the morning was better for walking with a risk of ice around! I made my way out to...

    We have more nasty weather approaching but it was ok this morning so I didn't hesitate and set off just after 9am with a SSE wind around 20mph, I decided to head into the wind which was around 22 miles down to Lesmahagow! It was another day of big climbs and big descents which suits me just...

    A trouble free ride today, my new tyre is due to arrive tomorrow and with this afternoon being so nice I had to get out! I actually found a small hole in my damaged tyre which I'm sure had a thorn in it, so I used a tyre boot to be safe and did a few circuits around town before chancing a longer...

    6500 should be easily achievable but of course the weather could play a part! I hope I get many more years of use Dave, I'm approaching 36000 and would love to take it to 50000 at least! I pulled my tyre off today and for the life of me I can't find anything that would have caused the punctures...

    A challenging but record breaking ride! I finally had a decent morning for cycling with no danger of ice, 6C with a blustery 25mph southerly wind! It was a very dull overcast day but it was dry, my plan was to do 50-60 miles which would leave me with only 20 or so miles to break my record of...

    After 12 days of crazy weather it was time to get the bike back out for a much needed ride, I have enjoyed some nice walks in the past 12 days but the bike is way more fun! When I looked at the forecast last night it was showing light winds with a less than 5% chance of rain, of course when I...

    Awesome video PD, that looked like a lot of fun! 👍 That Norco is a beast, looks like it can tackle anything except doing a limbo under a log...;) We got a few inches of snow today but it has turned to slush now, thankfully its not going to freeze tonight or that would have been horrendous! I'm...

    Yet another beautiful day so I made the most of it with a lovely walk in the morning and a stunning ride in the afternoon, once again we had light winds (that is changing tomorrow) and although it was a frosty start to the day it was a nice 10C when I set off at midday! I decided to head NW and...

    Another gorgeous day for a bike ride, much cooler but with light winds it didn't feel cold at all! My plan was to head for the Forth bridges which is always a great ride when the winds are light! I set off just after 9am with a planned ride of around 70 miles or so, I took the cycle path past...
