I was worried about mist and fog preventing my ride to Knockhill Racing Circuit yesterday for the 50th anniversary bike festival meeting, I really didn't want to take the car! The circuit opened in 1974, I first attended in 1979 and have been every year since! Luckily it was just misty with no...

I just got round to watching your video, PD and I'm just blown away! Its like Scotland on steroids! ;) Just spectacular mate!👌

The weather has been great all week but I took a couple of days off to recover from Monday's epic! I have been waiting for the right conditions to do one of my favourite rides and today was looking just right so my plan was to put the bike in the car and drive down to Peebles to cycle out to...

Just spectacular, PD👌@Prairie Dog Same thing happened to me once with Di2, a real pain but its a great system!

We finally have a week of decent weather so I made the most of it today, light winds but a little chilly at first when I set off at 7am! I had a ride planned in my head which involved a trip down to Ayrshire as I haven't been down that way for quite a while! I headed out to the Clyde Valley but...

The stormy weather finally passed through and today was looking much better, although there was a chilly NW wind blowing and it was only 5C when I departed at 8am! With lots of climbing ahead I wasn't going to feel the cold though, I decided to head out to Lennoxtown and head over the Campsie...

Is the perfect bike ride a reality? today it happened for me so I would say yes it is! My day started off with a low, I was intending to go to Knockhill for the car racing but the weather had other ideas and left a blanket of dense fog at home and up at Knockhill! I decided I would go in the...

Yes I do, any opportunity for a big ride is taken with gusto and today was the case in point! ;) I noticed I hadn't ridden out to the beautiful Trossachs since June so with a decent forecast today I put that right! The wind was from the NE and around 20mph which is unusual for around here...

If I get one nice day out of 6 I'm lucky... 😂

Is your weather good every day? it certainly seems to be and I'm just a little jealous despite it being lovely here today...;) Its supposed to be nice tomorrow also so I will almost certainly be out on the bike tomorrow after missing out today!

Enjoy your new steed , Jeremy! Yellow is my least favourite colour but it will get you seen which is good, I hope you have many miles of fun on it! 👍

I was looking forward to cycling to Knockhill Racing Circuit tomorrow for the motorcycle racing but on checking the latest forecast on Friday night it wasn't looking as promising as it was previously, it was showing a gusty 30mph easterly wind with a 30% chance of rain in the afternoon so I...

Sometimes you just get lucky and today was the case in point, I suppose I was due it after my hard drive failed on my pc last week! It was pouring down in the morning and it cleared up just a little so I chanced a walk at a local park and made it round without getting a soaking! The wind wasn't...

I will try a new post to see if I can finish my story! I arrived home just in time for dinner and had a look at the evening forecast which was looking rather iffy but it showed the winds dying down, I had a look out the window and could see a clearing to the south! I stepped outside and the rain...

After 8 days of crazy weather I finally got back out yesterday, not to say the crazy weather was gone but I just had to get out so I braved 40+ mph winds and had a great ride which was in 2 parts! The wind was almost a direct westerly so I opted to head east, passing the choppy Hillend Loch...

Yesterday was one of those rare days when everything just fell into place, from my walk at the park in the morning to a lovely 66 mile ride in the afternoon and another 40 miles in the evening! The weather was just perfect for cycling, 18C and a SW wind around 20mph ( I know this is a strong...

We had our best weather for a long time yesterday but I couldn't go cycling as I was attending the British Touring Car championships at Knockhill, cycling wasn't an option with a crowd of over 10000 spectators and most of them had a car! I got burnt to a crisp 😂 most unusual weather for...

I caught a break in the weather today, despite a dismal looking forecast which was showing rain pretty much all afternoon! I had things to do in the morning and of course the weather was lovely then...I was resigned to staying indoors but I had a look out of my window in the direction of the...

Due to back problems I never use the drops these days, I find the hoods the most comfortable and only use the flats very occasionally! I like the flat bars on my Hybrid bike but the drop bars on my e bike are just perfect for fast descents! Just as a comparison, last month I rode 604 miles with...

I have been slacking a bit lately so it was time for another imperial century, no 14 for the year and it was a brute but so much fun! Back in March I did a clockwise loop to Burntisland which is on the east coast of Scotland due north of the capital city of Edinburgh! So I went for the...
