Another decent day for a ride with light winds and a temp of 12C @Stefan Mikes which is very mild for here in November! I headed out to Shieldhill on the back roads and stopped for a couple of photos of the Forth Valley with the Ochil Hills in the background before hurtling down the fast descent...

Thank you, Flora! I miss your wonderful posts, I hope you are doing ok?

I finally had a nice day and enjoyed a cracking ride, conditions were just perfect with light winds and a temp of 10C! I had a nice walk in the morning when it was rather misty and headed out on the bike just after midday and even had a big yellow glow in the sky that has been almost non...

1c in sunshine yes please, way better than 12C in rain!

I had a choice of getting out on the bike yesterday on a very windy but 'dry' day or going out today with lighter winds but more chance of rain! I chose yesterday and made the most of the 35mph winds but got soaked in the process! 😂 Ironically the rain was minimal today...:rolleyes: Anyway I...

I planned a ride to go over the Campsie hills today but I was torn on whether to do the climb at Lennoxtown or from the Denny end, the wind was from the SW and around 20mph which would have favoured Lennoxtown as I would have had a nice tailwind on the way back but a lot of climbing! So I...

Imperial century #20 for the year! I looked at the forecast last night and it looked fine for a long ride out to Burntisland but when I woke this morning it was showing rain from 8am to after 10am! :rolleyes: I looked outside and it was a little damp but certainly not wet at this point, the...

You are correct about Jerry's enthusiam, he lives and breathes aviation but he would never want to see a crash like all of us that watch! I have been a paying member of BigJetTv for over 4 years! ;) He travels the world streaming and is actually live form DFW as we speak, its a members only show...

Well I have maintained an interest and watch live streams all the time, its actually around 3 decades since I visited an airport though! ;) I forgot to mention a total moron in a BMW X7 that blasted his horn and pointed to a cycle path next to the road when I was doing over 30mph, there were...

I was in 2 minds about going out today, with a 30mph WSW wind and heavy showers predicted I was reluctant to chance it! After lunch I had a look outside in all directions and it looked brighter to the east so the thought of having that 30mph tailwind filled me with enthusiasm so I went for it! I...

Thanks PD! That part of Japan is just incredible, it looks like you are both having a real blast! 👍 All the best with your trip, looking forward to reading about it! You are officially insane...🤣 You wouldn't be sitting on a bike where I am, you would be on the deck for sure!:p Storm Ashley is...

Thanks Dave! Thanks Dave, don't do yourself a disservice mate! 25000 is some going! 👍 Giant have more important things to do, like a new road bike maybe...;)

35000 miles now covered in just over 6.5 years and it has been a whole lot of fun! A rare Saturday ride for me, we have a huge storm coming tomorrow and the weather isn't looking bike friendly going into next week! So I moved things around that I normally do on a Saturday to get out while the...

I had a choice to go out today and risk getting wet or wait until tomorrow and risk my life with 40mph+ winds, I chose today and I did get wet! 😂 After the freezing temps recently it was all change yesterday with a high of 16C but it was very wet and very windy so cycling was the last thing on...

I know I said in my last post I would do a short ride but it was just too perfect so I kept going, I thought after 11 days off the bike I would struggle but I felt really strong! Of course my bike makes long rides a breeze, it just makes you want to keep riding and riding so I did! :D Early this...

Ain't that the truth, Jeremy! 😂 Thanks for your kind words and awesome humour! You know me too well, Dave! ;) Thanks buddy!

What a beautiful place to ride a bike, awesome video PD! 👌 Sai is a machine!;) I've had a tough week or so prepping for a colonoscopy which I had on Thursday, no polyps this time thankfully! Ironically Thursday was the only nice day of the past week!😂They took some biopsies so its a waiting...

I had a route planned for yesterday that would have been close to 125 miles, my plan was to drive to Kincardine and cycle inland to St Andrews and then head down the east coast back to Kincardine! Unfortunately the weather had other ideas with mist and fog pretty much all the way to Kincardine...

I had a ride of around 50 miles planned in my head but due to weather avoidance I ended up close to 60! I have a big ride planned for Thursday so I really wanted to get a ride in before then, the following Thursday I have a colonoscopy to look forward to so riding will be limited next week! No...

The weather finally played ball today, it was very blustery but a beautiful day! The wind was bitingly cold from the NW and gusting around 30mph, I decided to head SE and enjoy the wind for a while! I took the back roads as much as I could out to Auchengray, one of our few long straights around...
