My first bike ride of the racing season to Knockhill Racing Circuit for the Scottish Champs motorcycle racing, almost August so that tells you how bad the weather has been during the season! Today was just perfect for cycling and for watching the racing, a little cold in the morning but that...

My lucky streak with the weather continued today, my 4th ride in 6 days and I can't say that very often! I did have to alter my ride but it didn't detract from the awesome ride I had planned and actually turned out to be one of my best rides of the year! I was going to head out to Lennoxtown and...

They really are improving our bike paths, it has taken them a long time though but its a step in the right direction for sure! Firth of Forth rolls off the Scottish tongue, I could say it many times over without hesitation! 😂

A perfect day for a nice recovery ride, my 3rd ride in as many days and I can't say that very often this year! Light winds and a nice 19C temp made it a very pleasant ride indeed, I would have preferred to go out much earlier when it was cooler though but I'm not complaining! 😉 I started my ride...

A rare Sunday with decent weather so I just had to get out, with rain forecast for the afternoon I went for an early one! I set off at 6.45am with very light winds but a rather chilly 10C for this time of year, not that I was complaining as I love the cold! ;) I headed NE and used the local...

I had yesterday all planned out with a nice forecast all day, a nice walk in the morning and a 50 miler on the bike in the afternoon! It was a blustery day but nothing more than 30mph, I went for my walk at Beecraigs Loch in the morning and the weather was really nice! On my way home the...

Such a stunning area!👌 Roadies on rough backroads you say...never again if I can help it!😉

Thanks Bob, lots of practise over 50 years helps and great genes...😂

A perfect day for a long ride with light winds and a lovely 16C when I set off at 8.30am! There was a risk of heavy showers in the afternoon but with a mild temp I wasn't too bothered about getting wet, it can be refreshing anyway! It was actually a holiday weekend in my area so I was hopeful...

I finally managed to get 2 rides done in the same week for the first time in quite a while! Conditions were overcast with rain threathening but I was determined to get out, especially given it was a very calm day for a change! I decided it was going to be a day for me and the bike only, just...

I think Ridewithgps is way off actually, many of my climbs are defintely underestimated! I see the grades on my Wahoo gps and they are nowhere near what Ridewithgps reports...

My fifth consecutive imperial century on my e bike, our weather has just been crazy so as soon as a decent day comes along I just have to make the most of it! The forecast was showing light winds from the SW and a less than 5% chance of rain, they got the rain part right but the winds certainly...

I just got my monthly recap for June from Ridewithgps...an average of 111 miles! E bike average is 125.75 miles! I doubt I will ever beat that...😂

Thank you all for your kind words, it really was a proper epic ride and I know all about it today... 😂 I sure slept well last night! ;) I definitely picked the right day, our weather is looking awful this week so at least I will get a much needed rest!

My longest and best ever ride and my dad was with me all the way! On May 30th 2022 my dear old dad passed away at the grand old age of 93, he was my inspiration and encouraged my cycling throughout the years! To honour him I decided to ride from my front door to St Andrews and back and hope to...

I got the final piece of the jigsaw in the mail today and my bike is good to go again! 👍 What a relief, I had to order a new power switch also as the old one didn't want to part company with the old mounting bracket...stupid miniature screws are a pain! Anyway we are good to go and I'm hoping to...

As usual nothing is straightforward though, the new display doesn't come with a mounting bracket and the old one has the bracket attached... :rolleyes: Apparently it was modified on the later bikes and you have to order the bracket separately, thankfully they had one left in stock!

My new display just arrived, plugged it in and my bike came to life! 😁

Probably because its way more comfortable on the hoods, I very seldom ride on the drops...

In the right conditions yes but its hard not to take the e bike out as its just such a fun bike to ride in so many ways! Quite a ride you had yourself, PD! Your video and photos are top notch!👍
