    Not the ride I had planned for today but what a ride it was with amazing roads from start to finish! I was planning to ride down to Galston in Ayrshire as it was showing the best weather forecast for today, pretty much everywhere else was showing rain most of the day! With a 25mph SW wind...

    Another nice day for a ride, not even close to Stefan's 24C temp (thankfully😂), more like 12C which suits me nicely! Our easterly winds are finally gone and been replaced by westerlies, although it felt every bit as cold as the easterlies we have been experiencing lately! It was around 20mph and...

    A gorgeous day for a bike ride and a record breaking 801 mile total for April! Back in March 2012 at the age of 54 I managed 752 miles on my Focus Cayo road bike, until today that record still stood! It was a great bike and my first ever carbon frame, the only issue was the rear gear cable...

    I had a really nice 53 mile ride on Sunday, I didn't take any photos on that ride so didn't bother writing a report but it was a lot of fun on my local roads! It was another nice day today, been a lot of those this month actually and I'm not complaining and as of today I have managed 725 miles...

    I have been waiting for the right day to do one of my favourite rides between Peebles and Moffat, today was looking perfect for the trip and it really was an epic day! I put the bike in the car and drove the 50 miles down to Moffat, the drive alone was just amazing! I decided to take all 3...

    I was hoping to cycle up to Knockhill racing circuit for the car racing yesterday but opted for the car instead, today was the bike's turn! The forecast wasn't the best but it turned out to be a nice day for the most part, I did have to alter my ride to avoid a squall on the way to Lanark! The...

    In memory of my brother who passed a year ago today! Today was a special ride to remember my big brother, taking in some of his favourite places to visit in Scotland! He was never really into cycling as hill walking was his passion, he climbed over 200 of the 282 munros (mountains over 3000ft)...

    I can't even imagine how painful that would be if you were riding a bike in that, life threatening for sure! I've been hit many times but our hail is like pimples compared to that!

    It was a beautiful morning but I had things to do so couldn't get out until 10.50am, with heavy rain forecast for 3pm I had to make sure I didn't go crazy and go too far! 😂 Once again we had a strong southerly wind with gusts around 30-35mph, luckily the gusts were only occasional and the wind...

    A lot of those roads have very little traffic actually, we are very blessed in Scotland! Of course we have busy roads also but I try my best to avoid them... It stays pretty green here all year round, not surprising given the amount of rain we get! 😂

    Lets get this awesome thread back on track and stop the bickering, there's enough crap going on in the world without us cyclists falling out with each other... After the summer like weather of last Tuesday we were back to reality with the temp 10C cooler, at least it was a nice day though! The...

    I rarely ride into the wind at the start of my ride but with a 20mph easterly today and much warmer conditions it was a no brainer, I was really looking forward to making my way home with a 20mph tailwind for a change! The first 10 miles down to Allanton were all ups and downs and then it was...

    After my big ride on Thursday I chose a much easier ride today and with signs of Spring arriving it was good to get out without 5 layers and heated gloves! The afternoon temp was 12C with a feels like temp of 8C, it felt so good but of course it was windy again! 😂 Not too bad though with a...

    Thanks buddy, 45295 miles now and if all goes to plan I should ease past 50000 miles before year end, health and bike permitting! We don't have any really high hills but its very undulating to say the least and very twisty, I'm really blessed to live here and although our weather can be a bit...

    Thanks Jeremy, it really has and I hope it remains a friend for a very long time! ;) The storm is hitting late Saturday into the early hours of Sunday, up north anyway!

    An epic ride on my epic bike to celebrate it turning 8 years old! My bike turned 8 years old on Tuesday and with a nice forecast today I decided to do a long ride to celebrate it! Its hard to believe its 8 years old already, I still remember my first ride like it was yesterday! I did question...
